Palette Analysis

Values in Paul Gauguin rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Temperature reads distinctly warm: the reds and earth tones from Paul Gauguin carry the compositional weight. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. The most saturated colour, #CD994F, is reserved to 6.8% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. The value range of 52 units sits in the comfortable middle: enough depth, enough light, neither extreme. In the context of Paul Gauguin's full range of palettes, group 17 represents one movement in an ongoing chromatic dialogue.
