Palette Analysis
Wols sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. Warmth dominates - the palette of Wols leans heavily on the yellow-orange-red arc of the colour wheel. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. The most saturated colour, #3C80AE, is reserved to 4.2% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. At 54 units across the value scale, the palette keeps contrast readable without letting it dominate. The palette is a signature: Wols's particular sense of value, warmth, and colour weight made legible.
