Palette Analysis

Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. A single dominant - #201D19 at 41.4% - sets the character of the whole composition. #581D1B functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (3.6%). The value range spans 58 units across the palette, providing the full gamut from deep shadow to near-white and ensuring clear tonal hierarchy. In the context of Daniel Seghers's full range of palettes, group 4 represents one movement in an ongoing chromatic dialogue.
