Palette Analysis
Carl Gustaf Hellqvist 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. Muted throughout, the palette achieves its effects through value and temperature rather than chromatic force. #938869 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (2.6%). The full value range is 59 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively. Palette 1 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Carl Gustaf Hellqvist's complete body of work advances.
