August Ahlborn sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. Temperature is balanced: the palette pits warm earth against cool sky without declaring a winner. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. The saturated accent, #E2CDAE, registers at 7.8% - sparse enough to feel like a deliberate surprise. The full value range is 79 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. Palette 2 sits within the larger chromatic argument that August Ahlborn's complete body of work advances.
