Mid-key values give Edward Robert Hughes its characteristic quietness - nothing blazes, nothing disappears. The dominant temperature is warm, with earth tones and fire-hues setting the emotional key. Chroma is moderate: colours carry enough saturation to be read as colour, but the palette stops well short of garish intensity. The saturated accent, #5C3217, registers at 7.4% - sparse enough to feel like a deliberate surprise. 45 units of value spread create a palette that is varied but unified - contrast in the service of harmony. In the context of Edward Robert Hughes's full range of palettes, group 9 represents one movement in an ongoing chromatic dialogue.
