Theodoor van Thulden sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. Warm hues command this palette; Theodoor van Thulden favours the reds, oranges, and yellows of firelight and earth. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. #8B2F26 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (4.0%). From deepest dark to palest light, the palette traverses 66 units of the value scale - a span that creates natural depth. This is palette 2 of Theodoor van Thulden's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
