Light floods Matej Sternen; the palette keeps values pale and airy across its range. The dominant temperature is warm, with earth tones and fire-hues setting the emotional key. The absence of saturated colour is itself an expressive choice: this is a palette of restraint and atmosphere. The most saturated colour, #A9A15F, is reserved to 3.1% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. At 33 units across the value scale, the palette keeps contrast readable without letting it dominate. Palette 2 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Matej Sternen's complete body of work advances.
