Palette Analysis

Hans von Aachen sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. The dominant temperature is warm, with earth tones and fire-hues setting the emotional key. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. #70562E delivers the chromatic peak at only 7.2% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. The full value range is 70 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. This is palette 6 of Hans von Aachen's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
