Palette Analysis
Peter Ludwig Kuhnen sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. Neither warm nor cool has the upper hand here; the equilibrium between the two generates the palette's visual energy. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. #FDFCFB functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (2.6%). The full value range is 73 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. This is palette 3 of Peter Ludwig Kuhnen's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
