Palette Analysis

Adam van der Meulen occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. Warmth dominates - the palette of Adam van der Meulen leans heavily on the yellow-orange-red arc of the colour wheel. The absence of saturated colour is itself an expressive choice: this is a palette of restraint and atmosphere. #38270D functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (6.4%). 52 units of value spread create a palette that is varied but unified - contrast in the service of harmony. This is palette 7 of Adam van der Meulen's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
