Palette Analysis

Mid-key values give Frances Macdonald its characteristic quietness - nothing blazes, nothing disappears. Warm hues command this palette; Frances Macdonald favours the reds, oranges, and yellows of firelight and earth. Mid-saturation across the board: the palette has colour character without chromatic excess. #59281E is not a small accent - at 12.4% it qualifies as a major presence and gives the palette its chromatic identity. The full value range is 63 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. Palette 4 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Frances Macdonald's complete body of work advances.
