Palette Analysis
Mary Cassatt sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. Warm hues command this palette; Mary Cassatt favours the reds, oranges, and yellows of firelight and earth. Muted throughout, the palette achieves its effects through value and temperature rather than chromatic force. Only 10.8% is devoted to #C8AB8B, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. The full value range is 61 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. Mary Cassatt's palette 12 carries its own internal logic while remaining in conversation with the artist's broader colour intelligence.
