Palette Analysis

Govert Flinck sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. Warm and cool are kept in productive tension, creating the kind of chromatic harmony that sustains the eye. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. #B28851 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (3.2%). At 44 units across the value scale, the palette keeps contrast readable without letting it dominate. Palette 2 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Govert Flinck's complete body of work advances.
