Palette Analysis
Magnus Enckell distributes its values across the middle register, creating harmony without high contrast. The palette achieves thermal balance - reds and blues, ochres and greens, each holding the other in check. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. #9C8E68 delivers the chromatic peak at only 6.4% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. The palette spans 42 value units: a measured range that delivers coherence over drama. This is palette 2 of Magnus Enckell's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
