Palette Analysis
Arthur David McCormick sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. Warm and cool tones are held in careful balance - neither family dominates, creating tension and resolution simultaneously. Muted throughout, the palette achieves its effects through value and temperature rather than chromatic force. #442B22 delivers the chromatic peak at only 8.0% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. At 52 units across the value scale, the palette keeps contrast readable without letting it dominate. The palette is a signature: Arthur David McCormick's particular sense of value, warmth, and colour weight made legible.
