Palette Analysis

Values in Frans Wouters rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Temperature is balanced: the palette pits warm earth against cool sky without declaring a winner. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. The saturated accent, #9A794D, registers at 10.0% - sparse enough to feel like a deliberate surprise. 55 units of value range underpin the palette's structural clarity: the eye always knows where light falls. These proportions encode Frans Wouters's instinctive sense of how much of each quality the eye can hold.
