Gamboge Deep golden yellow - a traditional warm pigment, rich amber-gold.
Palette Analysis
Mid-key values give Pieter Codde its characteristic quietness - nothing blazes, nothing disappears. Warm hues command this palette; Pieter Codde favours the reds, oranges, and yellows of firelight and earth. Chroma hovers near zero; colour declares itself through subtle shifts in hue rather than outright saturation. #C6AA80 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (9.3%). A value spread of 64 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light. Taken together, these qualities constitute Pieter Codde's chromatic voice - distinctive enough to be read across an entire body of work.
