Palette Analysis
Gerrit Battem distributes its values across the middle register, creating harmony without high contrast. Neither warm nor cool has the upper hand here; the equilibrium between the two generates the palette's visual energy. Chroma hovers near zero; colour declares itself through subtle shifts in hue rather than outright saturation. Only 4.0% is devoted to #BDAA7C, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. At 55 units of value range, the palette has the tonal breadth to sustain complex spatial readings. In the context of Gerrit Battem's full range of palettes, group 3 represents one movement in an ongoing chromatic dialogue.
