Palette Analysis
C. R. W. Nevinson keeps values measured and balanced, a hallmark of tonal restraint. A distinctly cool atmosphere runs through this palette: sky, water, and mist given colour form. All colours lean toward grey, building depth through value rather than colour punch. The saturated accent, #1D1F14, registers at 4.3% - sparse enough to feel like a deliberate surprise. Spanning 44 units on the value axis, the palette achieves the balance between tonal flatness and fragmentation. High luminosity and cool temperature suggest the plein-air condition: unfiltered daylight and open sky. Palette 10 sits within the larger chromatic argument that C. R. W. Nevinson's complete body of work advances.
