Palette Analysis
George Morland distributes its values across the middle register, creating harmony without high contrast. A distinctly cool atmosphere runs through this palette: sky, water, and mist given colour form. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. The saturated accent, #575024, registers at 10.0% - sparse enough to feel like a deliberate surprise. At 56 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. This is palette 9 of George Morland's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
