Mid-key values give Matthias Stom its characteristic quietness - nothing blazes, nothing disappears. Warmth dominates - the palette of Matthias Stom leans heavily on the yellow-orange-red arc of the colour wheel. Saturation is deliberately withheld - the beauty here lies in the near-monochromatic gradations rather than colour difference. #A3754A delivers the chromatic peak at only 5.7% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. From deepest dark to palest light, the palette traverses 72 units of the value scale - a span that creates natural depth. This is palette 2 of Matthias Stom's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
