Eric Ravilious Palette 7

Palette Analysis

Eric Ravilious occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. Blues and teal-greys govern the palette, lending it an aquatic or atmospheric quality. Chroma is moderate: colours carry enough saturation to be read as colour, but the palette stops well short of garish intensity. The saturated accent, #AB8C5B, registers at 8.5% - sparse enough to feel like a deliberate surprise. At 42 units across the value scale, the palette keeps contrast readable without letting it dominate. High luminosity and cool temperature suggest the plein-air condition: unfiltered daylight and open sky. This is palette 7 of Eric Ravilious's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
