Luis de Madrazo y Kuntz occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. Heat pervades this palette; warm chromatic identities outweigh cool ones at almost every weight. A restrained, mid-chroma palette: every hue is present and legible, but nothing shouts. The most saturated colour, #894E3A, is reserved to 5.2% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. 53 units of value spread create a palette that is varied but unified - contrast in the service of harmony. This is palette 1 of Luis de Madrazo y Kuntz's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
