Palette Analysis

Carl Zewy distributes its values across the middle register, creating harmony without high contrast. Heat pervades this palette; warm chromatic identities outweigh cool ones at almost every weight. Chroma is moderate: colours carry enough saturation to be read as colour, but the palette stops well short of garish intensity. The most saturated colour, #6E371C, is reserved to 8.6% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. A value spread of 55 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light. This is palette 4 of Carl Zewy's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
