Values in Dirck Hals rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Yellow, ochre, sienna: warm hues that Dirck Hals deploys as the palette's primary energy. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. At 4.6%, #C9A57C carries the palette's sharpest chromatic charge: an accent that earns its place precisely because it is withheld. A value spread of 67 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light. In the context of Dirck Hals's full range of palettes, group 2 represents one movement in an ongoing chromatic dialogue.
