Frederick McCubbin distributes its values across the middle register, creating harmony without high contrast. Temperature is balanced: the palette pits warm earth against cool sky without declaring a winner. All colours lean toward grey, building depth through value rather than colour punch. The most saturated colour, #6A6337, is reserved to 6.3% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. The palette spans 54 value units: a measured range that delivers coherence over drama. Palette 4 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Frederick McCubbin's complete body of work advances.
