Frans Hals occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. Heat pervades this palette; warm chromatic identities outweigh cool ones at almost every weight. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. #BA9670 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (2.7%). At 67 units of value range, the palette has the tonal breadth to sustain complex spatial readings. Frans Hals's palette 6 carries its own internal logic while remaining in conversation with the artist's broader colour intelligence.
