David Allan Palette 1

Palette Analysis

David Allan is strongly light-biased - shadow is suggested rather than declared. Temperature is cool-dominant, with blue and green families claiming the largest areas. Chroma hovers near zero; colour declares itself through subtle shifts in hue rather than outright saturation. The most saturated colour, #264958, is reserved to 4.7% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. Spanning 54 units on the value axis, the palette achieves the balance between tonal flatness and fragmentation. The mid-to-high key, cool bias, and moderate chroma point to outdoor observation - sky and diffused daylight as the dominant light source. Palette 1 sits within the larger chromatic argument that David Allan's complete body of work advances.
