Bister Dark warm brown - a traditional ink and wash pigment made from wood soot.
Palette Analysis
Mid-key values give Parmigianino its characteristic quietness - nothing blazes, nothing disappears. The palette achieves thermal balance - reds and blues, ochres and greens, each holding the other in check. Muted throughout, the palette achieves its effects through value and temperature rather than chromatic force. The most saturated colour, #E3D7C5, is reserved to 7.9% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. 66 units of value range underpin the palette's structural clarity: the eye always knows where light falls. Parmigianino's palette 3 carries its own internal logic while remaining in conversation with the artist's broader colour intelligence.
