All colours lean toward grey, building depth through value rather than colour punch. At 5.4%, #553526 carries the palette's sharpest chromatic charge: an accent that earns its place precisely because it is withheld. 72 units of value range underpin the palette's structural clarity: the eye always knows where light falls. Hugo van der Goes's palette 1 carries its own internal logic while remaining in conversation with the artist's broader colour intelligence.
