Jan Wyck Palette 1
Shadowed Bister

Bister Dark warm brown - a traditional ink and wash pigment made from wood soot.
Palette Analysis
The value structure of Jan Wyck is mid-key: quiet, controlled, and cohesive. The dominant temperature is warm, with earth tones and fire-hues setting the emotional key. Saturation is deliberately withheld - the beauty here lies in the near-monochromatic gradations rather than colour difference. The saturated accent, #A88362, registers at 5.3% - sparse enough to feel like a deliberate surprise. Value range is moderate at 40 units - enough contrast for legibility, not so much as to fragment the tonal unity. This is palette 1 of Jan Wyck's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
