Palette Analysis
Values in David Allan rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Warm hues command this palette; David Allan favours the reds, oranges, and yellows of firelight and earth. Chroma hovers near zero; colour declares itself through subtle shifts in hue rather than outright saturation. #453730 at 25.7% of the palette: an overwhelming presence that pulls all other colours into its gravitational field. #543421 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (12.0%). The full value range is 69 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. David Allan's palette 5 carries its own internal logic while remaining in conversation with the artist's broader colour intelligence.
