Values in Cassius Marcellus Coolidge rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Cassius Marcellus Coolidge orchestrates warmth above all else - reds, ambers, and siennas take the lead. Chroma is moderate: colours carry enough saturation to be read as colour, but the palette stops well short of garish intensity. At 9.7%, #9E6A38 carries the palette's sharpest chromatic charge: an accent that earns its place precisely because it is withheld. The full value range is 71 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. This is palette 2 of Cassius Marcellus Coolidge's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
