Palette Analysis

Karel Ooms sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. Karel Ooms orchestrates warmth above all else - reds, ambers, and siennas take the lead. Muted throughout, the palette achieves its effects through value and temperature rather than chromatic force. #BE533A functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (3.5%). A value spread of 60 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light. Palette 3 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Karel Ooms's complete body of work advances.
