Dorrit Black is high in key: pale, luminous, and filled with optical air. Dorrit Black orchestrates warmth above all else - reds, ambers, and siennas take the lead. Muted throughout, the palette achieves its effects through value and temperature rather than chromatic force. #BB855C delivers the chromatic peak at only 6.4% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. Spanning 32 units on the value axis, the palette achieves the balance between tonal flatness and fragmentation. This is palette 1 of Dorrit Black's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
