Frederick McCubbin sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. Neither warm nor cool has the upper hand here; the equilibrium between the two generates the palette's visual energy. Chroma hovers near zero; colour declares itself through subtle shifts in hue rather than outright saturation. #B2571C delivers the chromatic peak at only 3.0% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. At 68 units of value range, the palette has the tonal breadth to sustain complex spatial readings. Frederick McCubbin arrived at this balance through long practice; the palette carries the weight of that experience.
