The value structure of Jacob Ochtervelt is mid-key: quiet, controlled, and cohesive. Temperature reads distinctly warm: the reds and earth tones from Jacob Ochtervelt carry the compositional weight. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. A single dominant - #3D2B21 at 26.5% - sets the character of the whole composition. #B5592E functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (1.9%). Value range is moderate at 52 units - enough contrast for legibility, not so much as to fragment the tonal unity. Palette 1 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Jacob Ochtervelt's complete body of work advances.
