Palette Analysis

The value structure of Gunnar Berndtson is mid-key: quiet, controlled, and cohesive. Cool tones set the register here - the blues and greens easily outweigh any warm accents. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. The most saturated colour, #977F49, is reserved to 4.6% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. At 64 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 2 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Gunnar Berndtson's complete body of work advances.
