Rik Wouters Palette 2
Muted Parchment
Muted Deliberately desaturated - chroma pulled toward gray, the restraint of tonal painting.
Parchment Aged warm neutral - the color of old manuscript parchment, tan and slightly yellowed.
Palette Analysis
Rik Wouters keeps values measured and balanced, a hallmark of tonal restraint. Warm and cool tones are held in careful balance - neither family dominates, creating tension and resolution simultaneously. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. #314366 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (5.8%). Value range is moderate at 54 units - enough contrast for legibility, not so much as to fragment the tonal unity. Rik Wouters's palette 2 carries its own internal logic while remaining in conversation with the artist's broader colour intelligence.
