Palette Analysis

Jan van Eyck keeps values measured and balanced, a hallmark of tonal restraint. Jan van Eyck 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. The saturated accent, #7C5732, registers at 11.9% - sparse enough to feel like a deliberate surprise. The value range spans 72 units across the palette, providing the full gamut from deep shadow to near-white and ensuring clear tonal hierarchy. Jan van Eyck's palette 2 carries its own internal logic while remaining in conversation with the artist's broader colour intelligence.
