Johan Erik Lindh Palette 3

Palette Analysis

Johan Erik Lindh sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. A distinctly cool atmosphere runs through this palette: sky, water, and mist given colour form. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. #594A35 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (8.3%). From deepest dark to palest light, the palette traverses 70 units of the value scale - a span that creates natural depth. The mid-to-high key, cool bias, and moderate chroma point to outdoor observation - sky and diffused daylight as the dominant light source. Palette 3 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Johan Erik Lindh's complete body of work advances.
