Palette Analysis
Values in Mannerism rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. The dominant temperature is warm, with earth tones and fire-hues setting the emotional key. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. The dominant colour, #151010, takes 25.9% of the total area, establishing the overall mood before any other hue is introduced. The saturated accent, #6C4127, registers at 9.2% - sparse enough to feel like a deliberate surprise. 62 units of value range underpin the palette's structural clarity: the eye always knows where light falls.
