Palette Analysis
Dorrit Black sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. Cool tones set the register here - the blues and greens easily outweigh any warm accents. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. The highest-chroma note - #A26C4E - appears at just 5.4%, deployed as a precision accent against the quieter ground. At 49 units across the value scale, the palette keeps contrast readable without letting it dominate. High luminosity and cool temperature suggest the plein-air condition: unfiltered daylight and open sky. This is palette 4 of Dorrit Black's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
