Palette Analysis

Yiannis Tsaroychis distributes its values across the middle register, creating harmony without high contrast. Yellow, ochre, sienna: warm hues that Yiannis Tsaroychis deploys as the palette's primary energy. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. The most saturated colour, #655441, is reserved to 10.6% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. The tight 23-unit value span produces a palette with no strong contrasts, instead building its character through subtle tonal shifts. This is palette 1 of Yiannis Tsaroychis's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
