Palette Analysis

Values in Pieter Saenredam rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Pieter Saenredam builds on cool foundations: the palette favours the blue-cyan-green arc. The absence of saturated colour is itself an expressive choice: this is a palette of restraint and atmosphere. #AE9B7B functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (6.7%). The full value range is 57 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively. In the context of Pieter Saenredam's full range of palettes, group 6 represents one movement in an ongoing chromatic dialogue.
