Palette Analysis

Values in Nicolas Poussin rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Warmth dominates - the palette of Nicolas Poussin leans heavily on the yellow-orange-red arc of the colour wheel. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. At 8.1%, #8E492D carries the palette's sharpest chromatic charge: an accent that earns its place precisely because it is withheld. 58 units of value range underpin the palette's structural clarity: the eye always knows where light falls. The palette is recognisably Nicolas Poussin's own: particular in its temperature, chroma, and the economy of its brightest note.
