N.C. Wyeth occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. Temperature is balanced: the palette pits warm earth against cool sky without declaring a winner. Muted throughout, the palette achieves its effects through value and temperature rather than chromatic force. The saturated accent, #6E502E, registers at 9.8% - sparse enough to feel like a deliberate surprise. A value spread of 64 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light. Palette 3 sits within the larger chromatic argument that N.C. Wyeth's complete body of work advances.
