The value structure of Hans Memling is mid-key: quiet, controlled, and cohesive. Blues and teal-greys govern the palette, lending it an aquatic or atmospheric quality. Muted throughout, the palette achieves its effects through value and temperature rather than chromatic force. #BB672B functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (2.3%). The full value range is 64 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. The mid-to-high key, cool bias, and moderate chroma point to outdoor observation - sky and diffused daylight as the dominant light source. This is palette 1 of Hans Memling's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
