Palette Analysis
Jacob Huysmans occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. Warm hues command this palette; Jacob Huysmans favours the reds, oranges, and yellows of firelight and earth. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. The most saturated colour, #C9A380, is reserved to 6.6% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. At 50 units across the value scale, the palette keeps contrast readable without letting it dominate.
