James Hamilton 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; James Hamilton favours the reds, oranges, and yellows of firelight and earth. Mid-range chroma keeps the palette grounded - colourful but not strident. #A64B22 delivers the chromatic peak at only 4.7% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. The value range spans 75 units across the palette, providing the full gamut from deep shadow to near-white and ensuring clear tonal hierarchy. This is palette 5 of James Hamilton's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
