Roderic O'Conor distributes its values across the middle register, creating harmony without high contrast. Roderic O'Conor orchestrates warmth above all else - reds, ambers, and siennas take the lead. All colours lean toward grey, building depth through value rather than colour punch. Only 8.3% is devoted to #79703B, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. A value spread of 55 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light. Palette 2 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Roderic O'Conor's complete body of work advances.
