Palette Analysis
Carl Gustaf Hellqvist distributes its values across the middle register, creating harmony without high contrast. Blues and teal-greys govern the palette, lending it an aquatic or atmospheric quality. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. The most saturated colour, #485633, is reserved to 12.9% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. The full value range is 63 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. High luminosity and cool temperature suggest the plein-air condition: unfiltered daylight and open sky. Palette 2 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Carl Gustaf Hellqvist's complete body of work advances.
