Palette Analysis
The high-key values of Xu Beihong give it an effulgent, almost bleached quality. Temperature reads distinctly warm: the reds and earth tones from Xu Beihong carry the compositional weight. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. 29.1% of the palette belongs to #EFEDE5, a concentration that makes it the unmistakable visual centre. #B67B68 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (4.9%). From deepest dark to palest light, the palette traverses 79 units of the value scale - a span that creates natural depth. In the context of Xu Beihong's full range of palettes, group 5 represents one movement in an ongoing chromatic dialogue.
