Hugo van der Goes Palette 2

Palette Analysis

Hugo van der Goes sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. Hugo van der Goes orchestrates warmth above all else - reds, ambers, and siennas take the lead. Mid-saturation across the board: the palette has colour character without chromatic excess. At 4.3%, #B12B18 carries the palette's sharpest chromatic charge: an accent that earns its place precisely because it is withheld. The full value range is 68 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. Palette 2 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Hugo van der Goes's complete body of work advances.
