Kmetty János keeps values measured and balanced, a hallmark of tonal restraint. Yellow, ochre, sienna: warm hues that Kmetty János deploys as the palette's primary energy. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. At 5.3%, #DCBCAC carries the palette's sharpest chromatic charge: an accent that earns its place precisely because it is withheld. Spanning 49 units on the value axis, the palette achieves the balance between tonal flatness and fragmentation. This is palette 3 of Kmetty János's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
