Marianne Stokes Palette 1

Palette Analysis

Values in Marianne Stokes tilt decisively toward white, giving the palette its luminous character. Temperature is cool-dominant, with blue and green families claiming the largest areas. Chroma hovers near zero; colour declares itself through subtle shifts in hue rather than outright saturation. The dominant colour, #CAC2A0, takes 42.4% of the total area, establishing the overall mood before any other hue is introduced. At 2.9%, #736C2C carries the palette's sharpest chromatic charge: an accent that earns its place precisely because it is withheld. 39 units of value spread create a palette that is varied but unified - contrast in the service of harmony. High luminosity and cool temperature suggest the plein-air condition: unfiltered daylight and open sky. Palette 1 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Marianne Stokes's complete body of work advances.
