Harriet Backer is high in key: pale, luminous, and filled with optical air. Temperature is cool-dominant, with blue and green families claiming the largest areas. Chroma hovers near zero; colour declares itself through subtle shifts in hue rather than outright saturation. #E8E8DE at 34.4% of the palette: an overwhelming presence that pulls all other colours into its gravitational field. At 5.3%, #5E5F31 carries the palette's sharpest chromatic charge: an accent that earns its place precisely because it is withheld. The full value range is 58 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. The mid-to-high key, cool bias, and moderate chroma point to outdoor observation - sky and diffused daylight as the dominant light source. This is palette 2 of Harriet Backer's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
