Values in George Vicat Cole rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Heat pervades this palette; warm chromatic identities outweigh cool ones at almost every weight. Colours are neither washed out nor blazing; they occupy the productive middle ground of the chroma scale. The most saturated colour, #D38653, is reserved to 8.4% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. From deepest dark to palest light, the palette traverses 55 units of the value scale - a span that creates natural depth. Palette 1 sits within the larger chromatic argument that George Vicat Cole's complete body of work advances.
