Domingos Sequeira Palette 5

Palette Analysis

Domingos Sequeira sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. Cool tones set the register here - the blues and greens easily outweigh any warm accents. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. At 10.8%, #694A30 carries the palette's sharpest chromatic charge: an accent that earns its place precisely because it is withheld. The full value range is 61 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively. In the context of Domingos Sequeira's full range of palettes, group 5 represents one movement in an ongoing chromatic dialogue.
