Edward Wadsworth Palette 8

Palette Analysis

Values in Edward Wadsworth rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Temperature is cool-dominant, with blue and green families claiming the largest areas. All colours lean toward grey, building depth through value rather than colour punch. The most saturated colour, #264041, is reserved to 7.9% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. The value range of 42 units sits in the comfortable middle: enough depth, enough light, neither extreme. High luminosity and cool temperature suggest the plein-air condition: unfiltered daylight and open sky. Palette 8 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Edward Wadsworth's complete body of work advances.
