Palette Analysis
The palette of George Morland sits in the lower register of the value scale - dense, contained, and weighted. Cool tones set the register here - the blues and greens easily outweigh any warm accents. All colours lean toward grey, building depth through value rather than colour punch. The most saturated colour, #6D5B3A, is reserved to 9.0% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. At 63 units of value range, the palette has the tonal breadth to sustain complex spatial readings. This tonal restraint is characteristic of the George Morland approach: colour serves light, not the reverse. Palette 11 sits within the larger chromatic argument that George Morland's complete body of work advances.
