Palette Analysis
J.M.W. Turner is high-key - luminous, open, and weighted toward light. Temperature is cool-dominant, with blue and green families claiming the largest areas. The absence of saturated colour is itself an expressive choice: this is a palette of restraint and atmosphere. At 4.0%, #6D4E34 carries the palette's sharpest chromatic charge: an accent that earns its place precisely because it is withheld. Spanning 49 units on the value axis, the palette achieves the balance between tonal flatness and fragmentation. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively. This is palette 1 of J.M.W. Turner's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
