Palette Analysis
Otto Dix keeps values measured and balanced, a hallmark of tonal restraint. Otto Dix tilts toward cool - blues and silver-greys carry the structural weight. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. The highest-chroma note - #D28F49 - appears at just 2.6%, deployed as a precision accent against the quieter ground. From deepest dark to palest light, the palette traverses 62 units of the value scale - a span that creates natural depth. High luminosity and cool temperature suggest the plein-air condition: unfiltered daylight and open sky. Palette 6 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Otto Dix's complete body of work advances.
