Stefan Lochner Palette 2

Palette Analysis

Stefan Lochner works in the upper reaches of the value scale, creating an atmosphere of brightness and expansiveness. Blues and teal-greys govern the palette, lending it an aquatic or atmospheric quality. Chroma is held at a comfortable level - distinct colours, but no single hue is allowed to overwhelm. At 8.4%, #DBCC58 carries the palette's sharpest chromatic charge: an accent that earns its place precisely because it is withheld. At 53 units across the value scale, the palette keeps contrast readable without letting it dominate. The mid-to-high key, cool bias, and moderate chroma point to outdoor observation - sky and diffused daylight as the dominant light source. This is palette 2 of Stefan Lochner's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
