Palette Analysis
The value structure of Francis Davis Millet is mid-key: quiet, controlled, and cohesive. Francis Davis Millet builds on cool foundations: the palette favours the blue-cyan-green arc. Saturation is deliberately withheld - the beauty here lies in the near-monochromatic gradations rather than colour difference. #7C6C40 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (11.7%). 45 units of value spread create a palette that is varied but unified - contrast in the service of harmony. High luminosity and cool temperature suggest the plein-air condition: unfiltered daylight and open sky. This is palette 2 of Francis Davis Millet's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
