Edward Bower keeps values measured and balanced, a hallmark of tonal restraint. Temperature is cool-dominant, with blue and green families claiming the largest areas. Muted throughout, the palette achieves its effects through value and temperature rather than chromatic force. The most saturated colour, #765B2F, is reserved to 4.8% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. The full value range is 67 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively. Taken together, these qualities constitute Edward Bower's chromatic voice - distinctive enough to be read across an entire body of work.
