Vermillion Brilliant red-orange - the classic mercury sulfide pigment, vivid and warm.
Palette Analysis
Mid-key values give Symbolism its characteristic quietness - nothing blazes, nothing disappears. Warmth dominates - the palette leans heavily on the yellow-orange-red arc of the colour wheel. Chroma is held at a comfortable level - distinct colours, but no single hue is allowed to overwhelm. #C85B3E claims 39.7% of the surface, functioning as the work's tonal foundation. At 1.7%, #F0AB27 carries the palette's sharpest chromatic charge: an accent that earns its place precisely because it is withheld. Value range is moderate at 42 units - enough contrast for legibility, not so much as to fragment the tonal unity.
