Childe Hassam occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. Warm and cool are kept in productive tension, creating the kind of chromatic harmony that sustains the eye. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. #6B3E27 delivers the chromatic peak at only 6.7% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. The value range spans 58 units across the palette, providing the full gamut from deep shadow to near-white and ensuring clear tonal hierarchy. In the context of Childe Hassam's full range of palettes, group 16 represents one movement in an ongoing chromatic dialogue.
