Mid-key values give Cornelis Saftleven its characteristic quietness - nothing blazes, nothing disappears. Cornelis Saftleven tilts toward cool - blues and silver-greys carry the structural weight. Chroma hovers near zero; colour declares itself through subtle shifts in hue rather than outright saturation. The most saturated colour, #4C361A, is reserved to 10.4% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. The full value range is 65 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 1 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Cornelis Saftleven's complete body of work advances.
