Frank Holl Palette 2

Palette Analysis

Frank Holl sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. Frank Holl builds on cool foundations: the palette favours the blue-cyan-green arc. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. #9E4420 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (1.6%). The value range spans 68 units across the palette, providing the full gamut from deep shadow to near-white and ensuring clear tonal hierarchy. High luminosity and cool temperature suggest the plein-air condition: unfiltered daylight and open sky. This is palette 2 of Frank Holl's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
