Francis Henry Newbery occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. The dominant temperature is warm, with earth tones and fire-hues setting the emotional key. The absence of saturated colour is itself an expressive choice: this is a palette of restraint and atmosphere. The highest-chroma note - #74321A - appears at just 9.7%, deployed as a precision accent against the quieter ground. The value range of 49 units sits in the comfortable middle: enough depth, enough light, neither extreme. Palette 2 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Francis Henry Newbery's complete body of work advances.
