Robert Lewis Reid is strongly light-biased - shadow is suggested rather than declared. 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. #5265CF functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (1.4%). 41 units of value spread create a palette that is varied but unified - contrast in the service of harmony. High luminosity and cool temperature suggest the plein-air condition: unfiltered daylight and open sky. Palette 3 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Robert Lewis Reid's complete body of work advances.
