Hans Dahl keeps values measured and balanced, a hallmark of tonal restraint. Blues and teal-greys govern the palette, lending it an aquatic or atmospheric quality. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. The most saturated colour, #453614, is reserved to 2.0% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. From deepest dark to palest light, the palette traverses 60 units of the value scale - a span that creates natural depth. High luminosity and cool temperature suggest the plein-air condition: unfiltered daylight and open sky. This is the light Hans Dahl preferred, made measurable.
