Palette Analysis

Values in Martin Ferdinand Quadal 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 hovers near zero; colour declares itself through subtle shifts in hue rather than outright saturation.

The most saturated colour, #72461F, is reserved to 6.1% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation.
