Thomas Wijck sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. Yellow, ochre, sienna: warm hues that Thomas Wijck deploys as the palette's primary energy. Chroma hovers near zero; colour declares itself through subtle shifts in hue rather than outright saturation. The highest-chroma note - #62482A - appears at just 8.2%, deployed as a precision accent against the quieter ground. From deepest dark to palest light, the palette traverses 56 units of the value scale - a span that creates natural depth. This is palette 1 of Thomas Wijck's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
