Palette Analysis

David Morier keeps values measured and balanced, a hallmark of tonal restraint. Temperature is balanced: the palette pits warm earth against cool sky without declaring a winner. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. Only 2.4% is devoted to #D84519, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. The value range of 51 units sits in the comfortable middle: enough depth, enough light, neither extreme. In the context of David Morier's full range of palettes, group 1 represents one movement in an ongoing chromatic dialogue.
