Palette Analysis

Values in Elizabeth Forbes rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Heat pervades this palette; warm chromatic identities outweigh cool ones at almost every weight. Muted throughout, the palette achieves its effects through value and temperature rather than chromatic force. #B9A46C functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (6.1%). Value range is moderate at 54 units - enough contrast for legibility, not so much as to fragment the tonal unity. This is palette 2 of Elizabeth Forbes's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
