Frances Hodgkins Palette 8

Apricot Soft warm orange - peach-adjacent, the color of ripe stone fruit.
Palette Analysis
The value structure of Frances Hodgkins is mid-key: quiet, controlled, and cohesive. Frances Hodgkins orchestrates warmth above all else - reds, ambers, and siennas take the lead. Chroma hovers near zero; colour declares itself through subtle shifts in hue rather than outright saturation. The most saturated colour, #876544, is reserved to 10.9% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. Spanning 44 units on the value axis, the palette achieves the balance between tonal flatness and fragmentation. This is palette 8 of Frances Hodgkins's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
