Palette Analysis

Arthur David McCormick distributes its values across the middle register, creating harmony without high contrast. Arthur David McCormick tilts toward cool - blues and silver-greys carry the structural weight. Muted throughout, the palette achieves its effects through value and temperature rather than chromatic force. The most saturated colour, #AA9C3D, is reserved to 6.6% 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 mid-to-high key, cool bias, and moderate chroma point to outdoor observation - sky and diffused daylight as the dominant light source. Arthur David McCormick's palette 3 carries its own internal logic while remaining in conversation with the artist's broader colour intelligence.
