Adolf Wölfli Palette 4

Palette Analysis

Light floods Adolf Wölfli; the palette keeps values pale and airy across its range. A distinctly cool atmosphere runs through this palette: sky, water, and mist given colour form. Mid-saturation across the board: the palette has colour character without chromatic excess. The dominant colour, #D8D0A6, takes 37.0% of the total area, establishing the overall mood before any other hue is introduced. #A6644B delivers the chromatic peak at only 1.4% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. The value range spans 74 units across the palette, providing the full gamut from deep shadow to near-white and ensuring clear tonal hierarchy. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively. This is palette 4 of Adolf Wölfli's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
