Values in Jakob Becker rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Blues and teal-greys govern the palette, lending it an aquatic or atmospheric quality. All colours lean toward grey, building depth through value rather than colour punch. The highest-chroma note - #856535 - appears at just 9.7%, deployed as a precision accent against the quieter ground. From deepest dark to palest light, the palette traverses 64 units of the value scale - a span that creates natural depth. The mid-to-high key, cool bias, and moderate chroma point to outdoor observation - sky and diffused daylight as the dominant light source. These proportions encode Jakob Becker's instinctive sense of how much of each quality the eye can hold.
