Palette Analysis

Values in David Scott rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Heat pervades this palette; warm chromatic identities outweigh cool ones at almost every weight. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. A single dominant - #382819 at 26.3% - sets the character of the whole composition. At 7.5%, #A46824 carries the palette's sharpest chromatic charge: an accent that earns its place precisely because it is withheld. The palette spans 47 value units: a measured range that delivers coherence over drama. Palette 3 sits within the larger chromatic argument that David Scott's complete body of work advances.
