Titian occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. Warm hues command this palette; Titian favours the reds, oranges, and yellows of firelight and earth. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. The most saturated colour, #BE9A6B, is reserved to 5.5% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. Spanning 54 units on the value axis, the palette achieves the balance between tonal flatness and fragmentation. This is palette 12 of Titian's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
