Palette Analysis

Mid-key values give Medieval Art its characteristic quietness - nothing blazes, nothing disappears. Blues and teal-greys govern the palette, lending it an aquatic or atmospheric quality. Muted throughout, the palette achieves its effects through value and temperature rather than chromatic force. A single dominant - #B9AA93 at 35.4% - sets the character of the whole composition. #7A4B51 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (3.7%). The value range of 32 units sits in the comfortable middle: enough depth, enough light, neither extreme. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively.
