Palette Analysis
Values in Marcel Janco rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Temperature is balanced: the palette pits warm earth against cool sky without declaring a winner. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. Marcel Janco gives 25.6% of the composition to a single #3D332F - a decisive chromatic anchor. Only 5.5% is devoted to #CBA741, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. The full value range is 71 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. This is palette 2 of Marcel Janco's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
