Mårten Eskil Winge Palette 1

Palette Analysis

Values in Mårten Eskil Winge rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Cool tones set the register here - the blues and greens easily outweigh any warm accents. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. The most saturated colour, #5E3A1F, is reserved to 5.9% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. A value spread of 55 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively. This is palette 1 of Mårten Eskil Winge's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
