Robert Alott Palette 2

Palette Analysis

Robert Alott sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. A distinctly cool atmosphere runs through this palette: sky, water, and mist given colour form. Saturation is deliberately withheld - the beauty here lies in the near-monochromatic gradations rather than colour difference. The most saturated colour, #A68842, is reserved to 3.6% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. From deepest dark to palest light, the palette traverses 59 units of the value scale - a span that creates natural depth. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively. Palette 2 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Robert Alott's complete body of work advances.
