Jan Lievens Palette 3
Nocturnal Bister
Nocturnal Night-register palette - very low values, the world after dark.
Bister Dark warm brown - a traditional ink and wash pigment made from wood soot.
Palette Analysis
The value structure of Jan Lievens is mid-key: quiet, controlled, and cohesive. Jan Lievens orchestrates warmth above all else - reds, ambers, and siennas take the lead. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. #E8BD8D functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (3.4%). A value spread of 73 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light. This is palette 3 of Jan Lievens's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
