Palette Analysis
Gerrit Battem is strongly light-biased - shadow is suggested rather than declared. Blues and teal-greys govern the palette, lending it an aquatic or atmospheric quality. The absence of saturated colour is itself an expressive choice: this is a palette of restraint and atmosphere. Only 6.6% is devoted to #513E2F, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. At 73 units of value range, the palette has the tonal breadth to sustain complex spatial readings. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively. Palette 1 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Gerrit Battem's complete body of work advances.
