Palette Analysis
Values in Harry Clarke rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Warmth dominates - the palette of Harry Clarke leans heavily on the yellow-orange-red arc of the colour wheel. All colours lean toward grey, building depth through value rather than colour punch. #311B27 at 41.5% is both the most chromatic and one of the largest colours in the palette - chroma as mass rather than as highlight. From deepest dark to palest light, the palette traverses 65 units of the value scale - a span that creates natural depth. This is palette 7 of Harry Clarke's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
