Palette Analysis

Mid-key values give Daniel Seghers 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. #19161E at 32.6% of the palette: an overwhelming presence that pulls all other colours into its gravitational field. #A13423 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (3.5%). At 59 units of value range, the palette has the tonal breadth to sustain complex spatial readings. This is palette 5 of Daniel Seghers's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
