Palette Analysis
Eduard Hau is strongly light-biased - shadow is suggested rather than declared. The palette achieves thermal balance - reds and blues, ochres and greens, each holding the other in check. The absence of saturated colour is itself an expressive choice: this is a palette of restraint and atmosphere. At 27.0%, #C8BAA8 functions less as a colour accent and more as a complete atmospheric environment. Only 6.1% is devoted to #AF814B, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. 43 units of value spread create a palette that is varied but unified - contrast in the service of harmony. In the context of Eduard Hau's full range of palettes, group 2 represents one movement in an ongoing chromatic dialogue.
