Johan Mari Henri ten Kate Palette 2

Palette Analysis

Values in Johan Mari Henri ten Kate rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Cool tones set the register here - the blues and greens easily outweigh any warm accents. Saturation is deliberately withheld - the beauty here lies in the near-monochromatic gradations rather than colour difference. #7F7044 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (6.6%). From deepest dark to palest light, the palette traverses 63 units of the value scale - a span that creates natural depth. High luminosity and cool temperature suggest the plein-air condition: unfiltered daylight and open sky. This is palette 2 of Johan Mari Henri ten Kate's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
