Palette Analysis
Mid-key values give Karl von Blaas its characteristic quietness - nothing blazes, nothing disappears. Blues and teal-greys govern the palette, lending it an aquatic or atmospheric quality. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. The saturated accent, #C29F3B, registers at 4.0% - sparse enough to feel like a deliberate surprise. 64 units of value range underpin the palette's structural clarity: the eye always knows where light falls. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively. Palette 3 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Karl von Blaas's complete body of work advances.
