N.C. Wyeth is strongly light-biased - shadow is suggested rather than declared. Cool tones set the register here - the blues and greens easily outweigh any warm accents. Chroma is held at a comfortable level - distinct colours, but no single hue is allowed to overwhelm. The most saturated colour, #826345, is reserved to 7.3% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. 68 units of value range underpin the palette's structural clarity: the eye always knows where light falls. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively. This is palette 1 of N.C. Wyeth's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
