Palette Analysis
The value structure of Narcisse-Virgilio Diaz is mid-key: quiet, controlled, and cohesive. Narcisse-Virgilio Diaz tilts toward cool - blues and silver-greys carry the structural weight. All colours lean toward grey, building depth through value rather than colour punch. #C8A962 delivers the chromatic peak at only 2.8% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. The full value range is 55 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively. This is palette 3 of Narcisse-Virgilio Diaz's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
