Palette Analysis

Values in David Allan rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Temperature reads distinctly warm: the reds and earth tones from David Allan carry the compositional weight. The absence of saturated colour is itself an expressive choice: this is a palette of restraint and atmosphere. Only 2.5% is devoted to #D49357, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. 53 units of value spread create a palette that is varied but unified - contrast in the service of harmony. This is palette 8 of David Allan's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
