Isaac Israels occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. Isaac Israels orchestrates warmth above all else - reds, ambers, and siennas take the lead. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. #684B37 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (5.8%). The value range of 40 units sits in the comfortable middle: enough depth, enough light, neither extreme. Palette 9 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Isaac Israels's complete body of work advances.
