Hermann Hendrich occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. The palette achieves thermal balance - reds and blues, ochres and greens, each holding the other in check. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. #574E24 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (6.1%). The full value range is 65 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. In the context of Hermann Hendrich's full range of palettes, group 3 represents one movement in an ongoing chromatic dialogue.
