Gamboge Deep golden yellow - a traditional warm pigment, rich amber-gold.
Palette Analysis
Howard Pyle 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; Howard Pyle favours the reds, oranges, and yellows of firelight and earth. Chroma hovers near zero; colour declares itself through subtle shifts in hue rather than outright saturation. #765A27 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (6.3%). The full value range is 63 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. This is the light Howard Pyle preferred, made measurable.
