Palette Analysis

Values in Maarten de Vos rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Yellow, ochre, sienna: warm hues that Maarten de Vos deploys as the palette's primary energy. Chroma is held at a comfortable level - distinct colours, but no single hue is allowed to overwhelm. #673222 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (7.1%). The value range spans 62 units across the palette, providing the full gamut from deep shadow to near-white and ensuring clear tonal hierarchy. This is palette 3 of Maarten de Vos's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
