Mid-key values give Gustav Pope its characteristic quietness - nothing blazes, nothing disappears. Warm hues command this palette; Gustav Pope favours the reds, oranges, and yellows of firelight and earth. Chroma is moderate: colours carry enough saturation to be read as colour, but the palette stops well short of garish intensity. The most saturated colour, #95602B, is reserved to 12.9% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. The value range of 53 units sits in the comfortable middle: enough depth, enough light, neither extreme. Palette 4 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Gustav Pope's complete body of work advances.
