Bart van der Leck sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. Cool tones set the register here - the blues and greens easily outweigh any warm accents. Chroma is held at a comfortable level - distinct colours, but no single hue is allowed to overwhelm. #0E1338 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (4.8%). A value spread of 64 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light. The mid-to-high key, cool bias, and moderate chroma point to outdoor observation - sky and diffused daylight as the dominant light source. Bart van der Leck arrived at this balance through long practice; the palette carries the weight of that experience.
