Edward Poynter sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. Yellow, ochre, sienna: warm hues that Edward Poynter deploys as the palette's primary energy. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. The most saturated colour, #DED1B9, is reserved to 3.6% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. At 59 units of value range, the palette has the tonal breadth to sustain complex spatial readings. The palette is recognisably Edward Poynter's own: particular in its temperature, chroma, and the economy of its brightest note.
