Pellizza da Volpedo is high in key: pale, luminous, and filled with optical air. A distinctly cool atmosphere runs through this palette: sky, water, and mist given colour form. A restrained, mid-chroma palette: every hue is present and legible, but nothing shouts. The most saturated colour, #F4E517, covers 30.4% of the surface: too much to call an accent, too strong to ignore. At 56 units of value range, the palette has the tonal breadth to sustain complex spatial readings. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively. This is palette 1 of Pellizza da Volpedo's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
