Vermillion Brilliant red-orange - the classic mercury sulfide pigment, vivid and warm.
Palette Analysis
The value structure of Charles Hermans is mid-key: quiet, controlled, and cohesive. Warm hues command this palette; Charles Hermans favours the reds, oranges, and yellows of firelight and earth. Chroma is held at a comfortable level - distinct colours, but no single hue is allowed to overwhelm. At 10.0%, #D76C28 carries the palette's sharpest chromatic charge: an accent that earns its place precisely because it is withheld. A value spread of 71 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light. Palette 2 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Charles Hermans's complete body of work advances.
