Hendrik Meyer the Younger Palette 1

Palette Analysis

Values in Hendrik Meyer the Younger rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Temperature is cool-dominant, with blue and green families claiming the largest areas.

From deepest dark to palest light, the palette traverses 56 units of the value scale - a span that creates natural depth. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively.
