Palette Analysis
Values in Benjamin West rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Warm hues command this palette; Benjamin West favours the reds, oranges, and yellows of firelight and earth. Muted throughout, the palette achieves its effects through value and temperature rather than chromatic force. The most saturated colour, #B45B35, is reserved to 5.1% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. From deepest dark to palest light, the palette traverses 61 units of the value scale - a span that creates natural depth. The palette is recognisably Benjamin West's own: particular in its temperature, chroma, and the economy of its brightest note.
