Jan Lievens keeps values measured and balanced, a hallmark of tonal restraint. The dominant temperature is warm, with earth tones and fire-hues setting the emotional key. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. #251B1B claims 31.2% of the surface, functioning as the work's tonal foundation. Only 5.1% is devoted to #E8C090, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. A value spread of 60 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light. This is palette 1 of Jan Lievens's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
