Nathan Altman occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. The palette achieves thermal balance - reds and blues, ochres and greens, each holding the other in check. Chroma hovers near zero; colour declares itself through subtle shifts in hue rather than outright saturation. The chromatic peak belongs to #84B3C2, and at 11.6% it dominates, not decorates. At 61 units of value range, the palette has the tonal breadth to sustain complex spatial readings. Palette 2 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Nathan Altman's complete body of work advances.
