Pieter Bruegel the Elder is high in key: pale, luminous, and filled with optical air. Warmth dominates - the palette of Pieter Bruegel the Elder 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, #B5A288, registers at 9.1% - sparse enough to feel like a deliberate surprise. 56 units of value range underpin the palette's structural clarity: the eye always knows where light falls. Palette 2 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Pieter Bruegel the Elder's complete body of work advances.
