Martín Rico y Ortega Palette 7

Palette Analysis

Martín Rico y Ortega sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. A distinctly cool atmosphere runs through this palette: sky, water, and mist given colour form. All colours lean toward grey, building depth through value rather than colour punch. The most saturated colour, #714C33, is reserved to 4.9% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. Spanning 51 units on the value axis, the palette achieves the balance between tonal flatness and fragmentation. The mid-to-high key, cool bias, and moderate chroma point to outdoor observation - sky and diffused daylight as the dominant light source. Martín Rico y Ortega's palette 7 carries its own internal logic while remaining in conversation with the artist's broader colour intelligence.
