The value structure of Daniel Mytens the Elder is mid-key: quiet, controlled, and cohesive. Neither warm nor cool has the upper hand here; the equilibrium between the two generates the palette's visual energy. Muted throughout, the palette achieves its effects through value and temperature rather than chromatic force. 26.3% of the palette belongs to #24241E, a concentration that makes it the unmistakable visual centre. #412C29 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (6.7%). The palette spans 51 value units: a measured range that delivers coherence over drama. Palette 2 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Daniel Mytens the Elder's complete body of work advances.
