Edward E. Simmons Palette 4
Dimmed Vellum

Palette Analysis
Edward E. Simmons keeps values measured and balanced, a hallmark of tonal restraint. Heat pervades this palette; warm chromatic identities outweigh cool ones at almost every weight. Chroma hovers near zero; colour declares itself through subtle shifts in hue rather than outright saturation. 30.3% of the palette belongs to #181113, a concentration that makes it the unmistakable visual centre. #264280 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (1.1%). The value range spans 73 units across the palette, providing the full gamut from deep shadow to near-white and ensuring clear tonal hierarchy. Palette 4 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Edward E. Simmons's complete body of work advances.
