Palette Analysis
Charles M. Russell occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. Heat pervades this palette; warm chromatic identities outweigh cool ones at almost every weight. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. The most saturated colour, #D7BE88, is reserved to 8.1% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. A value spread of 62 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light. Taken together, these qualities constitute Charles M. Russell's chromatic voice - distinctive enough to be read across an entire body of work.
