Dirk Bouts Palette 5
Muted Gamboge
Muted Deliberately desaturated - chroma pulled toward gray, the restraint of tonal painting.
Gamboge Deep golden yellow - a traditional warm pigment, rich amber-gold.
Palette Analysis
Values in Dirk Bouts rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Heat pervades this palette; warm chromatic identities outweigh cool ones at almost every weight. The absence of saturated colour is itself an expressive choice: this is a palette of restraint and atmosphere. The most saturated colour, #99644D, is reserved to 10.0% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. A value spread of 70 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light. Palette 5 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Dirk Bouts's complete body of work advances.
