Palette Analysis
Charles Brooking is strongly light-biased - shadow is suggested rather than declared. Cool hues prevail: blues, greens, and greys anchor the palette's emotional temperature. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. Only 10.4% is devoted to #463A1A, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. A value spread of 64 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively. Palette 2 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Charles Brooking's complete body of work advances.
