Alexis Van Hamme Palette 3

Palette Analysis

Alexis Van Hamme works almost entirely in the lower half of the value scale, privileging depth over brilliance. Yellow, ochre, sienna: warm hues that Alexis Van Hamme deploys as the palette's primary energy. Colours are neither washed out nor blazing; they occupy the productive middle ground of the chroma scale. #1C0E04 at 25.4% of the palette: an overwhelming presence that pulls all other colours into its gravitational field. The saturated accent, #5C3E16, registers at 9.9% - sparse enough to feel like a deliberate surprise. Spanning 54 units on the value axis, the palette achieves the balance between tonal flatness and fragmentation. These are the values of the Baroque studio - rich darks, measured warmth, controlled saturation. Palette 3 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Alexis Van Hamme's complete body of work advances.
