Palette Analysis
David Scott works almost entirely in the lower half of the value scale, privileging depth over brilliance. Yellow, ochre, sienna: warm hues that David Scott deploys as the palette's primary energy. The absence of saturated colour is itself an expressive choice: this is a palette of restraint and atmosphere. #976624 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (2.7%). The palette spans 40 value units: a measured range that delivers coherence over drama. Together these qualities place David Scott firmly in the tonal tradition - concerned with mood and atmosphere rather than chromatic display. This is palette 7 of David Scott's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
