Gamboge Deep golden yellow - a traditional warm pigment, rich amber-gold.
Palette Analysis
Values in Frank Dicksee rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Neither warm nor cool has the upper hand here; the equilibrium between the two generates the palette's visual energy. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. #CCA361 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (8.2%). From deepest dark to palest light, the palette traverses 57 units of the value scale - a span that creates natural depth. This is palette 3 of Frank Dicksee's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
