Richard Caton Woodville Jr. Palette 2

Palette Analysis

Richard Caton Woodville Jr. sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. Blues and teal-greys govern the palette, lending it an aquatic or atmospheric quality. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. #907F5F at 25.0% of the palette: an overwhelming presence that pulls all other colours into its gravitational field. #CBAA7B delivers the chromatic peak at only 6.3% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. The palette spans 53 value units: a measured range that delivers coherence over drama. The mid-to-high key, cool bias, and moderate chroma point to outdoor observation - sky and diffused daylight as the dominant light source. Palette 2 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Richard Caton Woodville Jr.'s complete body of work advances.
