Ethel Carrick Palette 2

Palette Analysis

Values in Ethel Carrick rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Cool tones set the register here - the blues and greens easily outweigh any warm accents. The absence of saturated colour is itself an expressive choice: this is a palette of restraint and atmosphere. At 3.2%, #8BC14B carries the palette's sharpest chromatic charge: an accent that earns its place precisely because it is withheld. The full value range is 64 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. The mid-to-high key, cool bias, and moderate chroma point to outdoor observation - sky and diffused daylight as the dominant light source. This is palette 2 of Ethel Carrick's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
