Ernest Lawson works in the upper reaches of the value scale, creating an atmosphere of brightness and expansiveness. Blues and teal-greys govern the palette, lending it an aquatic or atmospheric quality. Chroma hovers near zero; colour declares itself through subtle shifts in hue rather than outright saturation. #978777 delivers the chromatic peak at only 9.5% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. 44 units of value spread create a palette that is varied but unified - contrast in the service of harmony. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively. In the context of Ernest Lawson's full range of palettes, group 2 represents one movement in an ongoing chromatic dialogue.
