Palette Analysis

Values in Mary Beale rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Warmth dominates - the palette of Mary Beale leans heavily on the yellow-orange-red arc of the colour wheel. All colours lean toward grey, building depth through value rather than colour punch. #D5AB8F functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (5.6%). 68 units of value range underpin the palette's structural clarity: the eye always knows where light falls. Palette 4 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Mary Beale's complete body of work advances.
