Rococo Palette 32

Palette Analysis

Values in Rococo rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. The artist keeps warm and cool in parity, a balance that lends the work a perceptual shimmer. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. The most saturated colour, #D6C5AC, is reserved to 5.9% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. A value spread of 62 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light.
