Palette Analysis

Juan van der Hamen keeps values measured and balanced, a hallmark of tonal restraint. Temperature is cool-dominant, with blue and green families claiming the largest areas. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. #C88931 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (2.3%). The full value range is 67 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively. Palette 2 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Juan van der Hamen's complete body of work advances.
