Palma Vecchio occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. Temperature is balanced: the palette pits warm earth against cool sky without declaring a winner. All colours lean toward grey, building depth through value rather than colour punch. #1A1A1C claims 25.5% of the surface, functioning as the work's tonal foundation. Only 7.7% is devoted to #AA784E, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. From deepest dark to palest light, the palette traverses 65 units of the value scale - a span that creates natural depth. This is palette 1 of Palma Vecchio's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
