Palette Analysis
Values in Grant Wood rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Grant Wood orchestrates warmth above all else - reds, ambers, and siennas take the lead. Mid-range chroma keeps the palette grounded - colourful but not strident. The highest-chroma note - #9B532C - appears at just 6.1%, deployed as a precision accent against the quieter ground. At 53 units across the value scale, the palette keeps contrast readable without letting it dominate. In the context of Grant Wood's full range of palettes, group 4 represents one movement in an ongoing chromatic dialogue.
