Henry Anderton occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. Warm hues command this palette; Henry Anderton favours the reds, oranges, and yellows of firelight and earth. Muted throughout, the palette achieves its effects through value and temperature rather than chromatic force. The most saturated colour, #D58433, is reserved to 4.6% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. From deepest dark to palest light, the palette traverses 59 units of the value scale - a span that creates natural depth. Palette 1 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Henry Anderton's complete body of work advances.
