Palette Analysis
Parmigianino occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. Yellow, ochre, sienna: warm hues that Parmigianino deploys as the palette's primary energy. Chroma hovers near zero; colour declares itself through subtle shifts in hue rather than outright saturation. #151011 at 36.0% of the palette: an overwhelming presence that pulls all other colours into its gravitational field. #884D32 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (6.2%). The full value range is 65 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. Palette 6 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Parmigianino's complete body of work advances.
