Palette Analysis
Berthold Woltze occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. The palette achieves thermal balance - reds and blues, ochres and greens, each holding the other in check. Muted throughout, the palette achieves its effects through value and temperature rather than chromatic force. At 6.2%, #1E2712 carries the palette's sharpest chromatic charge: an accent that earns its place precisely because it is withheld. Spanning 53 units on the value axis, the palette achieves the balance between tonal flatness and fragmentation. This is the light Berthold Woltze preferred, made measurable.
