Mid-key values give Robert Bateman its characteristic quietness - nothing blazes, nothing disappears. 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. Only 3.9% is devoted to #AE7945, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. From deepest dark to palest light, the palette traverses 62 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 3 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Robert Bateman's complete body of work advances.
