Palette Analysis
Values in Charles Willson Peale rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Neither warm nor cool has the upper hand here; the equilibrium between the two generates the palette's visual energy. All colours lean toward grey, building depth through value rather than colour punch. At 4.6%, #CEB98C carries the palette's sharpest chromatic charge: an accent that earns its place precisely because it is withheld. The full value range is 56 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. Palette 5 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Charles Willson Peale's complete body of work advances.
