Palette Analysis
Grant Wood is strongly light-biased - shadow is suggested rather than declared. Cool hues prevail: blues, greens, and greys anchor the palette's emotional temperature. Colours are neither washed out nor blazing; they occupy the productive middle ground of the chroma scale. The chromatic peak belongs to #CA964B, and at 21.3% it dominates, not decorates. 53 units of value spread create a palette that is varied but unified - contrast in the service of harmony. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively. This is palette 1 of Grant Wood's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
