Mid-key values give Abraham van Strij its characteristic quietness - nothing blazes, nothing disappears. Yellow, ochre, sienna: warm hues that Abraham van Strij deploys as the palette's primary energy. Saturation is deliberately withheld - the beauty here lies in the near-monochromatic gradations rather than colour difference. #BD773B functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (7.5%). A value spread of 67 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light. This is palette 5 of Abraham van Strij's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
