Edward Wadsworth Palette 5

Palette Analysis

The value structure of Edward Wadsworth is mid-key: quiet, controlled, and cohesive. Cool tones set the register here - the blues and greens easily outweigh any warm accents. Mid-saturation across the board: the palette has colour character without chromatic excess. #B29837 is not a small accent - at 2.7% it qualifies as a major presence and gives the palette its chromatic identity. From deepest dark to palest light, the palette traverses 70 units of the value scale - a span that creates natural depth. The mid-to-high key, cool bias, and moderate chroma point to outdoor observation - sky and diffused daylight as the dominant light source. Palette 5 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Edward Wadsworth's complete body of work advances.
