Palette Analysis

Values in Harold Swanwick rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Temperature reads distinctly warm: the reds and earth tones from Harold Swanwick carry the compositional weight. Muted throughout, the palette achieves its effects through value and temperature rather than chromatic force. The highest-chroma note - #917148 - appears at just 10.7%, deployed as a precision accent against the quieter ground. The full value range is 65 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. Harold Swanwick's palette 2 carries its own internal logic while remaining in conversation with the artist's broader colour intelligence.
