Palette Analysis
Matthias Grünewald occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. Matthias Grünewald orchestrates warmth above all else - reds, ambers, and siennas take the lead. All colours lean toward grey, building depth through value rather than colour punch. The most saturated colour, #FBF9F6, is reserved to 2.5% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. From deepest dark to palest light, the palette traverses 79 units of the value scale - a span that creates natural depth. Palette 1 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Matthias Grünewald's complete body of work advances.
