Albert Edelfelt sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. The palette achieves thermal balance - reds and blues, ochres and greens, each holding the other in check. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. #CEC8AD functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (11.7%). 68 units of value range underpin the palette's structural clarity: the eye always knows where light falls. Taken together, these qualities constitute Albert Edelfelt's chromatic voice - distinctive enough to be read across an entire body of work.
