Justus van Gent occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. Warm hues command this palette; Justus van Gent favours the reds, oranges, and yellows of firelight and earth. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. #C99F6C delivers the chromatic peak at only 7.9% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. 49 units of value spread create a palette that is varied but unified - contrast in the service of harmony. Palette 8 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Justus van Gent's complete body of work advances.
