Palette Analysis

Values in Pehr Hillestrom rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Yellow, ochre, sienna: warm hues that Pehr Hillestrom deploys as the palette's primary energy. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. Only 5.0% is devoted to #D4B779, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. From deepest dark to palest light, the palette traverses 59 units of the value scale - a span that creates natural depth. Pehr Hillestrom arrived at this balance through long practice; the palette carries the weight of that experience.
