Edward Wilkins Waite sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. The dominant temperature is warm, with earth tones and fire-hues setting the emotional key. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. At 3.2%, #C89561 carries the palette's sharpest chromatic charge: an accent that earns its place precisely because it is withheld. 49 units of value spread create a palette that is varied but unified - contrast in the service of harmony. Palette 2 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Edward Wilkins Waite's complete body of work advances.
