Palette Analysis
Francis Cleyn occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. Yellow, ochre, sienna: warm hues that Francis Cleyn deploys as the palette's primary energy. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. #BFAC9C functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (7.2%). Spanning 45 units on the value axis, the palette achieves the balance between tonal flatness and fragmentation. Palette 1 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Francis Cleyn's complete body of work advances.
