Palette Analysis
Values in Carlton Alfred Smith rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Carlton Alfred Smith orchestrates warmth above all else - reds, ambers, and siennas take the lead. Saturation is deliberately withheld - the beauty here lies in the near-monochromatic gradations rather than colour difference. Only 2.5% is devoted to #DCC7AC, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. The value range of 52 units sits in the comfortable middle: enough depth, enough light, neither extreme. In the context of Carlton Alfred Smith's full range of palettes, group 2 represents one movement in an ongoing chromatic dialogue.
