Palette Analysis
Values in Haynes King rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Heat pervades this palette; warm chromatic identities outweigh cool ones at almost every weight. Chroma hovers near zero; colour declares itself through subtle shifts in hue rather than outright saturation. At 3.8%, #7C5C3C carries the palette's sharpest chromatic charge: an accent that earns its place precisely because it is withheld. The value range spans 57 units across the palette, providing the full gamut from deep shadow to near-white and ensuring clear tonal hierarchy. Haynes King's palette 2 carries its own internal logic while remaining in conversation with the artist's broader colour intelligence.
