Palette Analysis
Robert Russ occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. Blues and teal-greys govern the palette, lending it an aquatic or atmospheric quality. Muted throughout, the palette achieves its effects through value and temperature rather than chromatic force. Only 5.0% is devoted to #917D43, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. 61 units of value range underpin the palette's structural clarity: the eye always knows where light falls. High luminosity and cool temperature suggest the plein-air condition: unfiltered daylight and open sky. This is the light Robert Russ preferred, made measurable.
