Palette Analysis

Mid-key values give Nathaniel Dance its characteristic quietness - nothing blazes, nothing disappears. Blues and teal-greys govern the palette, lending it an aquatic or atmospheric quality. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. #9F6838 delivers the chromatic peak at only 3.1% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. From deepest dark to palest light, the palette traverses 62 units of the value scale - a span that creates natural depth. High luminosity and cool temperature suggest the plein-air condition: unfiltered daylight and open sky. In the context of Nathaniel Dance's full range of palettes, group 2 represents one movement in an ongoing chromatic dialogue.
