Palette Analysis
Wilhelm Kotarbinski keeps values measured and balanced, a hallmark of tonal restraint. Cool hues prevail: blues, greens, and greys anchor the palette's emotional temperature. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. #A48951 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (6.6%). The value range of 54 units sits in the comfortable middle: enough depth, enough light, neither extreme. The mid-to-high key, cool bias, and moderate chroma point to outdoor observation - sky and diffused daylight as the dominant light source. Palette 10 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Wilhelm Kotarbinski's complete body of work advances.
