Mid-key values give Jan van Eyck its characteristic quietness - nothing blazes, nothing disappears. Heat pervades this palette; warm chromatic identities outweigh cool ones at almost every weight. Chroma is held at a comfortable level - distinct colours, but no single hue is allowed to overwhelm. #873024 at 34.1% of the palette: an overwhelming presence that pulls all other colours into its gravitational field. #482D22 delivers the chromatic peak at only 6.4% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. At 69 units of value range, the palette has the tonal breadth to sustain complex spatial readings. Palette 5 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Jan van Eyck's complete body of work advances.
