Palette Analysis
Values in Xu Beihong rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Warm hues command this palette; Xu Beihong favours the reds, oranges, and yellows of firelight and earth. All colours lean toward grey, building depth through value rather than colour punch. #231C1A at 33.8% of the palette: an overwhelming presence that pulls all other colours into its gravitational field. #AE4532 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (1.0%). The full value range is 60 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. Palette 7 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Xu Beihong's complete body of work advances.
