Hugo van der Goes sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. Temperature reads distinctly warm: the reds and earth tones from Hugo van der Goes carry the compositional weight. The absence of saturated colour is itself an expressive choice: this is a palette of restraint and atmosphere. The most saturated colour, #745938, is reserved to 9.4% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. The palette spans 53 value units: a measured range that delivers coherence over drama. Palette 7 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Hugo van der Goes's complete body of work advances.
