Palette Analysis

The value structure of David Wilkie is mid-key: quiet, controlled, and cohesive. Warm hues command this palette; David Wilkie favours the reds, oranges, and yellows of firelight and earth. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. The most saturated colour, #5B3234, is reserved to 5.7% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. The full value range is 63 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. This is palette 5 of David Wilkie's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
