Palette Analysis
Grace Cossington Smith sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. The palette achieves thermal balance - reds and blues, ochres and greens, each holding the other in check. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. The most saturated colour, #D3C79A, is reserved to 9.2% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. At 62 units of value range, the palette has the tonal breadth to sustain complex spatial readings. Palette 4 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Grace Cossington Smith's complete body of work advances.
