Adelsteen Normann occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. Neither warm nor cool has the upper hand here; the equilibrium between the two generates the palette's visual energy. Muted throughout, the palette achieves its effects through value and temperature rather than chromatic force. #DEBD84 delivers the chromatic peak at only 5.4% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. 48 units of value spread create a palette that is varied but unified - contrast in the service of harmony. This is palette 2 of Adelsteen Normann's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
