Palette Analysis

Christian Köhler sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. Christian Köhler orchestrates warmth above all else - reds, ambers, and siennas take the lead. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. #AAC6D3 delivers the chromatic peak at only 6.3% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. A value spread of 65 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light. This is palette 3 of Christian Köhler's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
