Palette Analysis

Charles Demuth distributes its values across the middle register, creating harmony without high contrast. Charles Demuth tilts toward cool - blues and silver-greys carry the structural weight. Chroma is moderate: colours carry enough saturation to be read as colour, but the palette stops well short of garish intensity. #7B260E functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (8.4%). From deepest dark to palest light, the palette traverses 69 units of the value scale - a span that creates natural depth. The mid-to-high key, cool bias, and moderate chroma point to outdoor observation - sky and diffused daylight as the dominant light source. Charles Demuth's palette 6 carries its own internal logic while remaining in conversation with the artist's broader colour intelligence.
