Palette Analysis

Johannes Duntze sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. Cool hues prevail: blues, greens, and greys anchor the palette's emotional temperature. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. Only 5.4% is devoted to #605614, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. The value range spans 55 units across the palette, providing the full gamut from deep shadow to near-white and ensuring clear tonal hierarchy. 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 3 of Johannes Duntze's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
