Palette Analysis

Pieter de Hooch sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. Temperature is balanced: the palette pits warm earth against cool sky without declaring a winner. Chroma hovers near zero; colour declares itself through subtle shifts in hue rather than outright saturation. The highest-chroma note - #DBC58F - appears at just 10.2%, deployed as a precision accent against the quieter ground. The full value range is 70 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. This is palette 2 of Pieter de Hooch's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
