Palette Analysis
Jan van Eyck distributes its values across the middle register, creating harmony without high contrast. Temperature reads distinctly warm: the reds and earth tones from Jan van Eyck carry the compositional weight. All colours lean toward grey, building depth through value rather than colour punch. #A16749 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (4.2%). The value range spans 77 units across the palette, providing the full gamut from deep shadow to near-white and ensuring clear tonal hierarchy. Palette 6 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Jan van Eyck's complete body of work advances.
