Palette Analysis

Values in Tenebrism rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. 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. #92422A delivers the chromatic peak at only 4.8% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. From deepest dark to palest light, the palette traverses 60 units of the value scale - a span that creates natural depth.
