Cornelis de Vos Palette 3
Shadowed Bister
Shadowed Low-key - values weighted toward shadow, the palette of dim interiors and overcast skies.
Bister Dark warm brown - a traditional ink and wash pigment made from wood soot.
Palette Analysis
Mid-key values give Cornelis de Vos its characteristic quietness - nothing blazes, nothing disappears. The dominant temperature is warm, with earth tones and fire-hues setting the emotional key. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. The most saturated colour, #D7C4A0, is reserved to 4.1% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. 64 units of value range underpin the palette's structural clarity: the eye always knows where light falls. Palette 3 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Cornelis de Vos's complete body of work advances.
