Abraham Storck Palette 2

Palette Analysis

Light floods Abraham Storck; the palette keeps values pale and airy across its range. Blues and teal-greys govern the palette, lending it an aquatic or atmospheric quality. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. The dominant colour, #A09C81, takes 27.7% of the total area, establishing the overall mood before any other hue is introduced. The most saturated colour, #8F6E42, is reserved to 8.0% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. Value range is moderate at 50 units - enough contrast for legibility, not so much as to fragment the tonal unity. High luminosity and cool temperature suggest the plein-air condition: unfiltered daylight and open sky. Palette 2 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Abraham Storck's complete body of work advances.
