Palette Analysis

The value structure of David Wilkie is mid-key: quiet, controlled, and cohesive. Warmth dominates - the palette of David Wilkie leans heavily on the yellow-orange-red arc of the colour wheel. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. The highest-chroma note - #D3C08F - appears at just 3.0%, deployed as a precision accent against the quieter ground. The value range of 50 units sits in the comfortable middle: enough depth, enough light, neither extreme. In the context of David Wilkie's full range of palettes, group 3 represents one movement in an ongoing chromatic dialogue.
