Palette Analysis

The high-key values of Cornelis Kimmel give it an effulgent, almost bleached quality. Neither warm nor cool has the upper hand here; the equilibrium between the two generates the palette's visual energy. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. The saturated accent, #6D5738, registers at 9.3% - sparse enough to feel like a deliberate surprise. The full value range is 71 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. This is palette 2 of Cornelis Kimmel's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
