Stanisław Ignacy Witkiewicz Master Palette

Palette Analysis

Stanis?aw Ignacy Witkiewicz occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. Warm and cool are kept in productive tension, creating the kind of chromatic harmony that sustains the eye. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. The most saturated colour, #AF5D2B, is reserved to 10.0% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. A value spread of 58 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light. This is the light Stanis?aw Ignacy Witkiewicz preferred, made measurable.
