Palette Analysis

The value structure of Frank Paton is mid-key: quiet, controlled, and cohesive. The dominant temperature is warm, with earth tones and fire-hues setting the emotional key. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. #623C24 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (6.0%). From deepest dark to palest light, the palette traverses 59 units of the value scale - a span that creates natural depth. The palette is recognisably Frank Paton's own: particular in its temperature, chroma, and the economy of its brightest note.
