Palette Analysis

M. H. Maxy keeps values measured and balanced, a hallmark of tonal restraint. Blues and teal-greys govern the palette, lending it an aquatic or atmospheric quality. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. The highest-chroma note - #29417E - appears at just 2.9%, deployed as a precision accent against the quieter ground. The full value range is 60 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. High luminosity and cool temperature suggest the plein-air condition: unfiltered daylight and open sky. This is palette 3 of M. H. Maxy's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
