Bister Dark warm brown - a traditional ink and wash pigment made from wood soot.
Palette Analysis
The value structure of Henrique Pousao is mid-key: quiet, controlled, and cohesive. Warm hues command this palette; Henrique Pousao favours the reds, oranges, and yellows of firelight and earth. Saturation is deliberately withheld - the beauty here lies in the near-monochromatic gradations rather than colour difference. The saturated accent, #BE935D, registers at 3.8% - sparse enough to feel like a deliberate surprise. The full value range is 61 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. This is palette 5 of Henrique Pousao's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
