Masaccio Palette 5
Muted Vermillion
Muted Deliberately desaturated - chroma pulled toward gray, the restraint of tonal painting.
Vermillion Brilliant red-orange - the classic mercury sulfide pigment, vivid and warm.
Palette Analysis
Mid-key values give Masaccio its characteristic quietness - nothing blazes, nothing disappears. Temperature reads distinctly warm: the reds and earth tones from Masaccio carry the compositional weight. A restrained, mid-chroma palette: every hue is present and legible, but nothing shouts. The highest-chroma note - #943521 - appears at just 7.8%, deployed as a precision accent against the quieter ground. Spanning 39 units on the value axis, the palette achieves the balance between tonal flatness and fragmentation. Palette 5 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Masaccio's complete body of work advances.
