Values in David Scott rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. David Scott balances warm and cool with remarkable evenness, giving the composition its characteristic vibrancy. Saturation is deliberately withheld - the beauty here lies in the near-monochromatic gradations rather than colour difference. #703D2D delivers the chromatic peak at only 5.0% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. At 52 units across the value scale, the palette keeps contrast readable without letting it dominate. This is palette 2 of David Scott's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
