Harry Brooker occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. Yellow, ochre, sienna: warm hues that Harry Brooker deploys as the palette's primary energy. Chroma is moderate: colours carry enough saturation to be read as colour, but the palette stops well short of garish intensity. #E5CF91 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (3.4%). The full value range is 61 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. Palette 2 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Harry Brooker's complete body of work advances.
