Light floods Philip Wilson Steer; the palette keeps values pale and airy across its range. Warm and cool are kept in productive tension, creating the kind of chromatic harmony that sustains the eye. Chroma hovers near zero; colour declares itself through subtle shifts in hue rather than outright saturation. #1E1513 delivers the chromatic peak at only 3.2% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. From deepest dark to palest light, the palette traverses 71 units of the value scale - a span that creates natural depth. Palette 2 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Philip Wilson Steer's complete body of work advances.
