Charles M. Russell is high in key: pale, luminous, and filled with optical air. Warm hues command this palette; Charles M. Russell favours the reds, oranges, and yellows of firelight and earth. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. At 12.0%, #E9E1DC carries the palette's sharpest chromatic charge: an accent that earns its place precisely because it is withheld. The value range spans 63 units across the palette, providing the full gamut from deep shadow to near-white and ensuring clear tonal hierarchy. Palette 3 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Charles M. Russell's complete body of work advances.
