Palette Analysis

Values in Charles XV of Sweden rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Cool tones set the register here - the blues and greens easily outweigh any warm accents. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. At 6.4%, #4B4A29 carries the palette's sharpest chromatic charge: an accent that earns its place precisely because it is withheld. The full value range is 62 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 4 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Charles XV of Sweden's complete body of work advances.
