Petrus Christus Palette 3
Muted Gamboge
Muted Deliberately desaturated - chroma pulled toward gray, the restraint of tonal painting.
Gamboge Deep golden yellow - a traditional warm pigment, rich amber-gold.
Palette Analysis
Mid-key values give Petrus Christus its characteristic quietness - nothing blazes, nothing disappears. Warm hues command this palette; Petrus Christus favours the reds, oranges, and yellows of firelight and earth. Chroma hovers near zero; colour declares itself through subtle shifts in hue rather than outright saturation. The highest-chroma note - #662722 - appears at just 5.0%, deployed as a precision accent against the quieter ground. At 72 units of value range, the palette has the tonal breadth to sustain complex spatial readings. This is palette 3 of Petrus Christus's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
