Palette Analysis
Edward Poynter occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. Warmth dominates - the palette of Edward Poynter leans heavily on the yellow-orange-red arc of the colour wheel. Muted throughout, the palette achieves its effects through value and temperature rather than chromatic force. #303813 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (7.4%). Spanning 52 units on the value axis, the palette achieves the balance between tonal flatness and fragmentation. This is palette 3 of Edward Poynter's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
