Palette Analysis

Quentin Matsys distributes its values across the middle register, creating harmony without high contrast. Temperature reads distinctly warm: the reds and earth tones from Quentin Matsys carry the compositional weight. All colours lean toward grey, building depth through value rather than colour punch. Only 3.9% is devoted to #AF632E, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. A value spread of 63 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light. This is the light Quentin Matsys preferred, made measurable.
