Paul Nash is strongly light-biased - shadow is suggested rather than declared. The dominant temperature is warm, with earth tones and fire-hues setting the emotional key. Chroma is held at a comfortable level - distinct colours, but no single hue is allowed to overwhelm. A single dominant - #F0BA76 at 33.4% - sets the character of the whole composition. The most saturated colour, #88331C, is reserved to 2.0% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. 59 units of value range underpin the palette's structural clarity: the eye always knows where light falls. This is palette 1 of Paul Nash's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
