Palette Analysis

Values in Paul Kane rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Warmth dominates - the palette of Paul Kane leans heavily on the yellow-orange-red arc of the colour wheel. Colours are neither washed out nor blazing; they occupy the productive middle ground of the chroma scale. #DEB474 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (5.9%). The value range of 47 units sits in the comfortable middle: enough depth, enough light, neither extreme. In the context of Paul Kane's full range of palettes, group 5 represents one movement in an ongoing chromatic dialogue.
