Stefan Lochner Palette 6

Palette Analysis

Stefan Lochner distributes its values across the middle register, creating harmony without high contrast. Blues and teal-greys govern the palette, lending it an aquatic or atmospheric quality. Saturation is deliberately withheld - the beauty here lies in the near-monochromatic gradations rather than colour difference. At 6.2%, #6B3523 carries the palette's sharpest chromatic charge: an accent that earns its place precisely because it is withheld. The value range of 39 units sits in the comfortable middle: enough depth, enough light, neither extreme. High luminosity and cool temperature suggest the plein-air condition: unfiltered daylight and open sky. This is palette 6 of Stefan Lochner's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
