Palette Analysis
The value structure of Man Ray is mid-key: quiet, controlled, and cohesive. Heat pervades this palette; warm chromatic identities outweigh cool ones at almost every weight. All colours lean toward grey, building depth through value rather than colour punch. At 32.0%, #1A1617 functions less as a colour accent and more as a complete atmospheric environment. The most saturated colour, #773B34, is reserved to 6.2% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. At 66 units of value range, the palette has the tonal breadth to sustain complex spatial readings. This is palette 4 of Man Ray's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
