Gilbert Soest sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. Temperature is cool-dominant, with blue and green families claiming the largest areas. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. The saturated accent, #C9B59C, registers at 0.8% - sparse enough to feel like a deliberate surprise. The full value range is 58 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. High luminosity and cool temperature suggest the plein-air condition: unfiltered daylight and open sky. Gilbert Soest's palette 3 carries its own internal logic while remaining in conversation with the artist's broader colour intelligence.
