Palette Analysis
Frances Hodgkins distributes its values across the middle register, creating harmony without high contrast. Frances Hodgkins builds on cool foundations: the palette favours the blue-cyan-green arc. Chroma hovers near zero; colour declares itself through subtle shifts in hue rather than outright saturation. Only 7.7% is devoted to #A98C64, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. The palette spans 46 value units: a measured range that delivers coherence over drama. High luminosity and cool temperature suggest the plein-air condition: unfiltered daylight and open sky. This is palette 12 of Frances Hodgkins's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
