Light floods Richard Gerstl; the palette keeps values pale and airy across its range. Cool hues prevail: blues, greens, and greys anchor the palette's emotional temperature. All colours lean toward grey, building depth through value rather than colour punch. #416D73 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (9.9%). At 56 units of value range, the palette has the tonal breadth to sustain complex spatial readings. The mid-to-high key, cool bias, and moderate chroma point to outdoor observation - sky and diffused daylight as the dominant light source. Palette 2 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Richard Gerstl's complete body of work advances.
