Palette Analysis
August von Pettenkofen sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. Blues and teal-greys govern the palette, lending it an aquatic or atmospheric quality. Mid-range chroma keeps the palette grounded - colourful but not strident. Only 11.2% is devoted to #6F5422, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. At 45 units across the value scale, the palette keeps contrast readable without letting it dominate. High luminosity and cool temperature suggest the plein-air condition: unfiltered daylight and open sky. This is palette 7 of August von Pettenkofen's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
