Palette Analysis

Values in James McDougal Hart rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Heat pervades this palette; warm chromatic identities outweigh cool ones at almost every weight. Chroma is held at a comfortable level - distinct colours, but no single hue is allowed to overwhelm. #F2C679 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (2.6%). 57 units of value range underpin the palette's structural clarity: the eye always knows where light falls. This is palette 2 of James McDougal Hart's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
