Palette Analysis
Irma Stern occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. Warm and cool tones are held in careful balance - neither family dominates, creating tension and resolution simultaneously. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. The highest-chroma note - #956E49 - appears at just 8.8%, deployed as a precision accent against the quieter ground. The full value range is 57 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. This is palette 2 of Irma Stern's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
