Palette Analysis
Values in Margaret Macdonald rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Margaret Macdonald orchestrates warmth above all else - reds, ambers, and siennas take the lead. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. #E9D8C2 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (4.7%). At 56 units of value range, the palette has the tonal breadth to sustain complex spatial readings. This is palette 3 of Margaret Macdonald's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
