Palette Analysis
The value structure of Jan van den Hoecke is mid-key: quiet, controlled, and cohesive. The palette achieves thermal balance - reds and blues, ochres and greens, each holding the other in check. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. Only 6.7% is devoted to #945023, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. Spanning 37 units on the value axis, the palette achieves the balance between tonal flatness and fragmentation. These proportions encode Jan van den Hoecke's instinctive sense of how much of each quality the eye can hold.
