Palette Analysis

Values in Ludovico Carracci rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Yellow, ochre, sienna: warm hues that Ludovico Carracci deploys as the palette's primary energy. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. #B88A53 delivers the chromatic peak at only 10.0% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. A value spread of 59 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light. Ludovico Carracci arrived at this balance through long practice; the palette carries the weight of that experience.
