Palette Analysis

George Harvey keeps values measured and balanced, a hallmark of tonal restraint. A distinctly cool atmosphere runs through this palette: sky, water, and mist given colour form. Chroma is held at a comfortable level - distinct colours, but no single hue is allowed to overwhelm. #D5C96D functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (4.8%). At 52 units across the value scale, the palette keeps contrast readable without letting it dominate. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively. In the context of George Harvey's full range of palettes, group 3 represents one movement in an ongoing chromatic dialogue.
