Marianne Stokes is high in key: pale, luminous, and filled with optical air. The palette achieves thermal balance - reds and blues, ochres and greens, each holding the other in check. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. The highest-chroma note - #AF583A - appears at just 3.8%, deployed as a precision accent against the quieter ground. 46 units of value spread create a palette that is varied but unified - contrast in the service of harmony. In the context of Marianne Stokes's full range of palettes, group 2 represents one movement in an ongoing chromatic dialogue.
