Emily Carr Palette 6
Smoldering Leaden
Smoldering Suppressed heat in dark register - low-key with a warm undertone, ember-like.
Leaden Heavy dark gray - the color of lead or overcast winter sky, oppressive.
Palette Analysis
Values in Emily Carr rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. A distinctly cool atmosphere runs through this palette: sky, water, and mist given colour form. The absence of saturated colour is itself an expressive choice: this is a palette of restraint and atmosphere. #214984 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (11.1%). From deepest dark to palest light, the palette traverses 65 units of the value scale - a span that creates natural depth. High luminosity and cool temperature suggest the plein-air condition: unfiltered daylight and open sky. In the context of Emily Carr's full range of palettes, group 6 represents one movement in an ongoing chromatic dialogue.
