Mannerism Palette 32

Bister Dark warm brown - a traditional ink and wash pigment made from wood soot.
Palette Analysis
Mid-key values give Mannerism its characteristic quietness - nothing blazes, nothing disappears. The palette orchestrates warmth above all else - reds, ambers, and siennas take the lead. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. #A75E42 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (3.7%). At 73 units of value range, the palette has the tonal breadth to sustain complex spatial readings.
