Gamboge Deep golden yellow - a traditional warm pigment, rich amber-gold.
Palette Analysis
Mid-key values give portrait its characteristic quietness - nothing blazes, nothing disappears. The palette orchestrates warmth above all else - reds, ambers, and siennas take the lead. All colours lean toward grey, building depth through value rather than colour punch. A single dominant - #221C19 at 28.9% - sets the character of the whole composition. The most saturated colour, #B16336, is reserved to 3.9% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. 62 units of value range underpin the palette's structural clarity: the eye always knows where light falls.
