Richard Gerstl works in the upper reaches of the value scale, creating an atmosphere of brightness and expansiveness. 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. #483F6E functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (8.2%). The full value range is 61 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. Richard Gerstl's palette 3 carries its own internal logic while remaining in conversation with the artist's broader colour intelligence.
