Palette Analysis
Light floods Harold Swanwick; the palette keeps values pale and airy across its range. Blues and teal-greys govern the palette, lending it an aquatic or atmospheric quality. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. #604F40 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (8.8%). The palette spans 48 value units: a measured range that delivers coherence over drama. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively. Palette 1 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Harold Swanwick's complete body of work advances.
