Shadowed Umber

Umber Dark earthy brown - raw or burnt umber, a foundational old-master earth pigment.
Palette Analysis
Mid-key values give Martin Schongauer its characteristic quietness - nothing blazes, nothing disappears. 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. #4C262D delivers the chromatic peak at only 7.0% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. At 46 units across the value scale, the palette keeps contrast readable without letting it dominate. Martin Schongauer's palette 6 carries its own internal logic while remaining in conversation with the artist's broader colour intelligence.
