Palette Analysis
Bernard Van Orley sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. Heat pervades this palette; warm chromatic identities outweigh cool ones at almost every weight. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. The highest-chroma note - #E9D8C1 - appears at just 3.0%, deployed as a precision accent against the quieter ground. A value spread of 66 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light. Bernard Van Orley's palette 2 carries its own internal logic while remaining in conversation with the artist's broader colour intelligence.
