Values in Justus van Gent rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. The palette achieves thermal balance - reds and blues, ochres and greens, each holding the other in check. Muted throughout, the palette achieves its effects through value and temperature rather than chromatic force. #DBBB85 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (5.1%). 58 units of value range underpin the palette's structural clarity: the eye always knows where light falls. Justus van Gent's palette 5 carries its own internal logic while remaining in conversation with the artist's broader colour intelligence.
