Richard Wilson Palette 7

Palette Analysis

Richard Wilson occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. Richard Wilson tilts toward cool - blues and silver-greys carry the structural weight. All colours lean toward grey, building depth through value rather than colour punch. The dominant colour, #36332C, takes 26.8% of the total area, establishing the overall mood before any other hue is introduced. #907D3D delivers the chromatic peak at only 2.8% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. Spanning 47 units on the value axis, the palette achieves the balance between tonal flatness and fragmentation. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively. This is palette 7 of Richard Wilson's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
