Ioannis Altamouras Palette 1
Hushed Vellum
Hushed Very low chroma and quiet value - restrained to near-silence, barely present.
Vellum Smooth pale tan - the color of prepared calf-skin vellum, warmer than parchment.
Palette Analysis
Ioannis Altamouras works in the upper reaches of the value scale, creating an atmosphere of brightness and expansiveness. The palette achieves thermal balance - reds and blues, ochres and greens, each holding the other in check. Muted throughout, the palette achieves its effects through value and temperature rather than chromatic force. Only 7.0% is devoted to #DED0C8, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. The full value range is 69 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. Palette 1 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Ioannis Altamouras's complete body of work advances.
