Palette Analysis

Nils Forsberg occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. Warmth dominates - the palette of Nils Forsberg leans heavily on the yellow-orange-red arc of the colour wheel. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. The saturated accent, #BF9D63, registers at 2.1% - sparse enough to feel like a deliberate surprise. The full value range is 60 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. Palette 4 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Nils Forsberg's complete body of work advances.
