Palette Analysis

Helen Dahm occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. Warmth dominates - the palette of Helen Dahm leans heavily on the yellow-orange-red arc of the colour wheel. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. At 1.4%, #949DBD carries the palette's sharpest chromatic charge: an accent that earns its place precisely because it is withheld. The value range of 53 units sits in the comfortable middle: enough depth, enough light, neither extreme. Helen Dahm's palette 1 carries its own internal logic while remaining in conversation with the artist's broader colour intelligence.
