Palette Analysis

Francis Cleyn distributes its values across the middle register, creating harmony without high contrast. Francis Cleyn orchestrates warmth above all else - reds, ambers, and siennas take the lead. Chroma hovers near zero; colour declares itself through subtle shifts in hue rather than outright saturation. A single dominant - #0A0806 at 30.8% - sets the character of the whole composition. The most saturated colour, #91601A, is reserved to 7.3% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. 71 units of value range underpin the palette's structural clarity: the eye always knows where light falls. Francis Cleyn's palette 2 carries its own internal logic while remaining in conversation with the artist's broader colour intelligence.
