Marmaduke Cradock Palette 2

Palette Analysis

Values in Marmaduke Cradock rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Marmaduke Cradock tilts toward cool - blues and silver-greys carry the structural weight. Mid-saturation across the board: the palette has colour character without chromatic excess. At 5.8%, #4E230E carries the palette's sharpest chromatic charge: an accent that earns its place precisely because it is withheld. At 57 units of value range, the palette has the tonal breadth to sustain complex spatial readings. The mid-to-high key, cool bias, and moderate chroma point to outdoor observation - sky and diffused daylight as the dominant light source. This is palette 2 of Marmaduke Cradock's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
