Hans Sterbik occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. Yellow, ochre, sienna: warm hues that Hans Sterbik deploys as the palette's primary energy. Muted throughout, the palette achieves its effects through value and temperature rather than chromatic force. The saturated accent, #A57D47, registers at 1.9% - sparse enough to feel like a deliberate surprise. The value range of 52 units sits in the comfortable middle: enough depth, enough light, neither extreme. Hans Sterbik's palette 2 carries its own internal logic while remaining in conversation with the artist's broader colour intelligence.
