Tintoretto Palette 13

Palette Analysis

Values in Tintoretto rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Yellow, ochre, sienna: warm hues that Tintoretto deploys as the palette's primary energy. Muted throughout, the palette achieves its effects through value and temperature rather than chromatic force. 28.2% of the palette belongs to #1B140E, a concentration that makes it the unmistakable visual centre. #B98E65 delivers the chromatic peak at only 7.1% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. The full value range is 60 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. In the context of Tintoretto's full range of palettes, group 13 represents one movement in an ongoing chromatic dialogue.
