Jan van Eyck Palette 7
Shadowed Rust
Shadowed Low-key - values weighted toward shadow, the palette of dim interiors and overcast skies.
Rust Oxidized red-brown - the color of iron corrosion, warm and earthy-red.
Palette Analysis
Jan van Eyck keeps values measured and balanced, a hallmark of tonal restraint. Heat pervades this palette; warm chromatic identities outweigh cool ones at almost every weight. Colours are neither washed out nor blazing; they occupy the productive middle ground of the chroma scale. #D44540 at 19.6% is both the most chromatic and one of the largest colours in the palette - chroma as mass rather than as highlight. At 50 units across the value scale, the palette keeps contrast readable without letting it dominate. Palette 7 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Jan van Eyck's complete body of work advances.
