Palette Analysis
Edward Poynter sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. Edward Poynter builds on cool foundations: the palette favours the blue-cyan-green arc. Saturation is deliberately withheld - the beauty here lies in the near-monochromatic gradations rather than colour difference. The most saturated colour, #C19755, is reserved to 3.3% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. 64 units of value range underpin the palette's structural clarity: the eye always knows where light falls. High luminosity and cool temperature suggest the plein-air condition: unfiltered daylight and open sky. Palette 4 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Edward Poynter's complete body of work advances.
