Michael Angelo Hayes Palette 2

Palette Analysis

Michael Angelo Hayes sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. Blues and teal-greys govern the palette, lending it an aquatic or atmospheric quality. A restrained, mid-chroma palette: every hue is present and legible, but nothing shouts. The highest-chroma note - #AE823C - appears at just 6.9%, deployed as a precision accent against the quieter ground. At 70 units of value range, the palette has the tonal breadth to sustain complex spatial readings. The mid-to-high key, cool bias, and moderate chroma point to outdoor observation - sky and diffused daylight as the dominant light source. This is palette 2 of Michael Angelo Hayes's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
