Palette Analysis

Mario Sironi sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. Mario Sironi tilts toward cool - blues and silver-greys carry the structural weight. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. #947542 delivers the chromatic peak at only 5.5% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. The full value range is 70 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. High luminosity and cool temperature suggest the plein-air condition: unfiltered daylight and open sky. This is palette 3 of Mario Sironi's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
