Palette Analysis
Ford Madox Brown distributes its values across the middle register, creating harmony without high contrast. The palette achieves thermal balance - reds and blues, ochres and greens, each holding the other in check. Muted throughout, the palette achieves its effects through value and temperature rather than chromatic force. #D2BF9C delivers the chromatic peak at only 8.6% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. Spanning 44 units on the value axis, the palette achieves the balance between tonal flatness and fragmentation. Palette 1 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Ford Madox Brown's complete body of work advances.
