Bister Dark warm brown - a traditional ink and wash pigment made from wood soot.
Palette Analysis
Michiel van Musscher distributes its values across the middle register, creating harmony without high contrast. Temperature reads distinctly warm: the reds and earth tones from Michiel van Musscher carry the compositional weight. Saturation is deliberately withheld - the beauty here lies in the near-monochromatic gradations rather than colour difference. #C84A2B functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (0.9%). The full value range is 59 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. This is palette 1 of Michiel van Musscher's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
