Bertalan Szekely occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. The dominant temperature is warm, with earth tones and fire-hues setting the emotional key. The absence of saturated colour is itself an expressive choice: this is a palette of restraint and atmosphere. The most saturated colour, #C07A53, is reserved to 3.7% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. The full value range is 56 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. Palette 2 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Bertalan Szekely's complete body of work advances.
