The value structure of George Catlin is mid-key: quiet, controlled, and cohesive. George Catlin orchestrates warmth above all else - reds, ambers, and siennas take the lead. Chroma is moderate: colours carry enough saturation to be read as colour, but the palette stops well short of garish intensity. #A0472B delivers the chromatic peak at only 8.8% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. 47 units of value spread create a palette that is varied but unified - contrast in the service of harmony. This is palette 5 of George Catlin's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
