Values in Albert Pinkham Ryder rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. A distinctly cool atmosphere runs through this palette: sky, water, and mist given colour form. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. The most saturated colour, #CCBC8A, is reserved to 3.7% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. The full value range is 58 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively. Palette 5 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Albert Pinkham Ryder's complete body of work advances.
