Charles-Andre van Loo (Carle van Loo) sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. Charles-Andre van Loo (Carle van Loo) builds on cool foundations: the palette favours the blue-cyan-green arc. Muted throughout, the palette achieves its effects through value and temperature rather than chromatic force. The saturated accent, #C8BB9D, registers at 8.6% - sparse enough to feel like a deliberate surprise. 45 units of value spread create a palette that is varied but unified - contrast in the service of harmony. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively. This is palette 1 of Charles-Andre van Loo (Carle van Loo)'s sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
