Palette Analysis
The value structure of David Allan is mid-key: quiet, controlled, and cohesive. The palette achieves thermal balance - reds and blues, ochres and greens, each holding the other in check. Chroma hovers near zero; colour declares itself through subtle shifts in hue rather than outright saturation. #D7AE7C functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (5.1%). Spanning 50 units on the value axis, the palette achieves the balance between tonal flatness and fragmentation. Palette 3 sits within the larger chromatic argument that David Allan's complete body of work advances.
