Palette Analysis
Mid-key values give Eleanor Fortescue-Brickdale its characteristic quietness - nothing blazes, nothing disappears. The palette achieves thermal balance - reds and blues, ochres and greens, each holding the other in check. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. The most saturated colour, #AA8160, is reserved to 7.4% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. From deepest dark to palest light, the palette traverses 55 units of the value scale - a span that creates natural depth. This is palette 7 of Eleanor Fortescue-Brickdale's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
