Pehr Hillestrom Palette 4

Palette Analysis

The palette of Pehr Hillestrom sits in the lower register of the value scale - dense, contained, and weighted. Warmth dominates - the palette of Pehr Hillestrom leans heavily on the yellow-orange-red arc of the colour wheel. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. At 6.2%, #876841 carries the palette's sharpest chromatic charge: an accent that earns its place precisely because it is withheld. The full value range is 60 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. Together these qualities place Pehr Hillestrom firmly in the tonal tradition - concerned with mood and atmosphere rather than chromatic display. This is palette 4 of Pehr Hillestrom's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
