Johann Anton de Peters Palette 2

Palette Analysis

Johann Anton de Peters 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. Chroma is held at a comfortable level - distinct colours, but no single hue is allowed to overwhelm. #967545 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (11.5%). The value range of 48 units sits in the comfortable middle: enough depth, enough light, neither extreme. The mid-to-high key, cool bias, and moderate chroma point to outdoor observation - sky and diffused daylight as the dominant light source. This is palette 2 of Johann Anton de Peters's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
