Fitz Hugh Lane works in the upper reaches of the value scale, creating an atmosphere of brightness and expansiveness. Warm and cool are kept in productive tension, creating the kind of chromatic harmony that sustains the eye. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. The highest-chroma note - #C3985C - appears at just 2.6%, deployed as a precision accent against the quieter ground. 58 units of value range underpin the palette's structural clarity: the eye always knows where light falls. Palette 2 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Fitz Hugh Lane's complete body of work advances.
