Palette Analysis

Grant Wood sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. Heat pervades this palette; warm chromatic identities outweigh cool ones at almost every weight. Mid-range chroma keeps the palette grounded - colourful but not strident. The highest-chroma note - #976539 - appears at just 9.9%, deployed as a precision accent against the quieter ground. The full value range is 55 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. In the context of Grant Wood's full range of palettes, group 6 represents one movement in an ongoing chromatic dialogue.
