Mid-key values give David Allan its characteristic quietness - nothing blazes, nothing disappears. The dominant temperature is warm, with earth tones and fire-hues setting the emotional key. Chroma hovers near zero; colour declares itself through subtle shifts in hue rather than outright saturation. Only 6.6% is devoted to #D0854B, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. 64 units of value range underpin the palette's structural clarity: the eye always knows where light falls. The palette is a signature: David Allan's particular sense of value, warmth, and colour weight made legible.
