Palette Analysis

Values in Pieter Soutman rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Pieter Soutman builds on cool foundations: the palette favours the blue-cyan-green arc. A restrained, mid-chroma palette: every hue is present and legible, but nothing shouts. At 4.3%, #CDC383 carries the palette's sharpest chromatic charge: an accent that earns its place precisely because it is withheld. A value spread of 59 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light. High luminosity and cool temperature suggest the plein-air condition: unfiltered daylight and open sky. Palette 3 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Pieter Soutman's complete body of work advances.
