Silent Monumentalism Colors

 

BURIED TONE STRUCTURE  Silent Monumentalism | Pieter Lategan 11 April  2026

This palette exists across three systems:

  • Pigment (oil paint mixing)
  • Digital (HEX values)
  • Print (CMYK equivalents)

The primary system is material-based.
Digital and print values are used only as references.

Colour is not fixed — it is controlled through mixing and reduction.
