Gamboge Deep golden yellow - a traditional warm pigment, rich amber-gold.
Palette Analysis
Paul Ranson distributes its values across the middle register, creating harmony without high contrast. Warm and cool tones are held in careful balance - neither family dominates, creating tension and resolution simultaneously. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. The highest-chroma note - #E68C4B - appears at just 2.8%, deployed as a precision accent against the quieter ground. 45 units of value spread create a palette that is varied but unified - contrast in the service of harmony. Palette 6 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Paul Ranson's complete body of work advances.
