Harry Watrous Palette 2

Palette Analysis

Harry Watrous distributes its values across the middle register, creating harmony without high contrast. Temperature is cool-dominant, with blue and green families claiming the largest areas. Chroma is held at a comfortable level - distinct colours, but no single hue is allowed to overwhelm. The most saturated colour, #260A02, is reserved to 3.5% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. At 79 units of value range, the palette has the tonal breadth to sustain complex spatial readings. 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 Harry Watrous's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
