Gamboge Deep golden yellow - a traditional warm pigment, rich amber-gold.
Palette Analysis
Karel Ooms keeps values measured and balanced, a hallmark of tonal restraint. Heat pervades this palette; warm chromatic identities outweigh cool ones at almost every weight. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. #99462E functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (10.0%). 64 units of value range underpin the palette's structural clarity: the eye always knows where light falls. This is the light Karel Ooms preferred, made measurable.
