Palette Analysis
The value structure of Pellegrino Tibaldi is mid-key: quiet, controlled, and cohesive. 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. A single dominant - #A29C92 at 29.1% - sets the character of the whole composition. #EBC37B delivers the chromatic peak at only 3.1% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. At 54 units across the value scale, the palette keeps contrast readable without letting it dominate. This is palette 1 of Pellegrino Tibaldi's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
