David Cox Master Palette
Muted Parchment
Muted Deliberately desaturated - chroma pulled toward gray, the restraint of tonal painting.
Parchment Aged warm neutral - the color of old manuscript parchment, tan and slightly yellowed.
Palette Analysis
The value structure of David Cox is mid-key: quiet, controlled, and cohesive. Warm hues command this palette; David Cox favours the reds, oranges, and yellows of firelight and earth. All colours lean toward grey, building depth through value rather than colour punch. #B5BEEA functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (4.5%). From deepest dark to palest light, the palette traverses 64 units of the value scale - a span that creates natural depth. This is the light David Cox preferred, made measurable.
