Values in Hugo Darnaut rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. A distinctly cool atmosphere runs through this palette: sky, water, and mist given colour form. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. #9D6F36 delivers the chromatic peak at only 4.2% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. A value spread of 55 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light. High luminosity and cool temperature suggest the plein-air condition: unfiltered daylight and open sky. This is palette 3 of Hugo Darnaut's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
