Palette Analysis
David Scott dwells firmly in the shadows, with no more than a whisper of light. The dominant temperature is warm, with earth tones and fire-hues setting the emotional key. All colours lean toward grey, building depth through value rather than colour punch. Only 11.6% is devoted to #1C0D08, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. 62 units of value range underpin the palette's structural clarity: the eye always knows where light falls. The combination of low values, muted chroma, and compressed range is the signature of the Tonalist mode - painting as atmosphere. Palette 6 sits within the larger chromatic argument that David Scott's complete body of work advances.
