Gavin Hamilton Palette 3

Palette Analysis

Values in Gavin Hamilton rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Gavin Hamilton tilts toward cool - blues and silver-greys carry the structural weight. Saturation is deliberately withheld - the beauty here lies in the near-monochromatic gradations rather than colour difference. #543C0F at 27.6% of the palette: an overwhelming presence that pulls all other colours into its gravitational field. #876632 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (2.5%). At 67 units of value range, the palette has the tonal breadth to sustain complex spatial readings. High luminosity and cool temperature suggest the plein-air condition: unfiltered daylight and open sky. Palette 3 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Gavin Hamilton's complete body of work advances.
