Palette Analysis

Mid-key values give Karl Karger its characteristic quietness - nothing blazes, nothing disappears. Warmth dominates - the palette of Karl Karger leans heavily on the yellow-orange-red arc of the colour wheel. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. Only 8.6% is devoted to #917247, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. At 58 units of value range, the palette has the tonal breadth to sustain complex spatial readings. This is palette 2 of Karl Karger's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
