Frederic Edwin Church occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. Warmth dominates - the palette of Frederic Edwin Church leans heavily on the yellow-orange-red arc of the colour wheel. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. #E1CFA5 delivers the chromatic peak at only 8.8% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. At 57 units of value range, the palette has the tonal breadth to sustain complex spatial readings. This is palette 2 of Frederic Edwin Church's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
