Palette Analysis
Mid-key values give Martín Rico y Ortega its characteristic quietness - nothing blazes, nothing disappears. Blues and teal-greys govern the palette, lending it an aquatic or atmospheric quality. All colours lean toward grey, building depth through value rather than colour punch. The highest-chroma note - #D6CAB4 - appears at just 7.2%, deployed as a precision accent against the quieter ground. 62 units of value range underpin the palette's structural clarity: the eye always knows where light falls. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively. This is palette 5 of Martín Rico y Ortega's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
