Automatic Painting painters returned to these tonal relationships repeatedly; this palette is their shared chromatic grammar. Automatic Painting distributes its values across the middle register, creating harmony without high contrast. Yellow, ochre, sienna: warm hues deployed as the palette's primary energy. The absence of saturated colour is itself an expressive choice: this is a palette of restraint and atmosphere. The most saturated colour, #B58633, is reserved to 8.0% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. 49 units of value spread create a palette that is varied but unified - contrast in the service of harmony. Any work aspiring to the Automatic Painting sensibility would find reliable footing in these values.
