Palette Analysis
Patrick Henry Bruce occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. Warm hues command this palette; Patrick Henry Bruce favours the reds, oranges, and yellows of firelight and earth. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. #1C1A46 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (5.9%). A value spread of 68 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light. This is palette 3 of Patrick Henry Bruce's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
