Gavin Hamilton Palette 1

Palette Analysis

Gavin Hamilton sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. Gavin Hamilton tilts toward cool - blues and silver-greys carry the structural weight. Chroma hovers near zero; colour declares itself through subtle shifts in hue rather than outright saturation. #3B372A at 25.5% of the palette: an overwhelming presence that pulls all other colours into its gravitational field. Only 7.2% is devoted to #D5B39B, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. Spanning 54 units on the value axis, the palette achieves the balance between tonal flatness and fragmentation. High luminosity and cool temperature suggest the plein-air condition: unfiltered daylight and open sky. This is palette 1 of Gavin Hamilton's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
