Values in Quentin Matsys rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Warmth dominates - the palette of Quentin Matsys leans heavily on the yellow-orange-red arc of the colour wheel. Muted throughout, the palette achieves its effects through value and temperature rather than chromatic force. Only 10.8% is devoted to #764530, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. The palette spans 50 value units: a measured range that delivers coherence over drama. Palette 1 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Quentin Matsys's complete body of work advances.
