Palette Analysis
Frits Thaulow occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. Warmth dominates - the palette of Frits Thaulow leans heavily on the yellow-orange-red arc of the colour wheel. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. Only 3.6% is devoted to #B97347, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. At 65 units of value range, the palette has the tonal breadth to sustain complex spatial readings. These proportions encode Frits Thaulow's instinctive sense of how much of each quality the eye can hold.
