Values in Richard Parkes Bonington rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Temperature is cool-dominant, with blue and green families claiming the largest areas. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. The most saturated colour, #AC6727, is reserved to 4.9% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. At 63 units of value range, the palette has the tonal breadth to sustain complex spatial readings. High luminosity and cool temperature suggest the plein-air condition: unfiltered daylight and open sky. This is the light Richard Parkes Bonington preferred, made measurable.
