Aelbert van der Schoor occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. Aelbert van der Schoor orchestrates warmth above all else - reds, ambers, and siennas take the lead. Saturation is measured and controlled, giving the palette presence without visual aggression. The most saturated colour, #964522, is reserved to 5.8% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. At 62 units of value range, the palette has the tonal breadth to sustain complex spatial readings. Palette 1 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Aelbert van der Schoor's complete body of work advances.
