Light floods George Willdey; the palette keeps values pale and airy across its range. The palette achieves thermal balance - reds and blues, ochres and greens, each holding the other in check. Chroma hovers near zero; colour declares itself through subtle shifts in hue rather than outright saturation. The highest-chroma note - #8E734D - appears at just 2.5%, deployed as a precision accent against the quieter ground. 49 units of value spread create a palette that is varied but unified - contrast in the service of harmony. Taken together, these qualities constitute George Willdey's chromatic voice - distinctive enough to be read across an entire body of work.
