Jan Hendrik Verheyen sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. Jan Hendrik Verheyen tilts toward cool - blues and silver-greys carry the structural weight. Chroma hovers near zero; colour declares itself through subtle shifts in hue rather than outright saturation. At 7.8%, #896438 carries the palette's sharpest chromatic charge: an accent that earns its place precisely because it is withheld. From deepest dark to palest light, the palette traverses 72 units of the value scale - a span that creates natural depth. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively. Palette 1 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Jan Hendrik Verheyen's complete body of work advances.
