Palette Analysis
Roger Fry keeps values measured and balanced, a hallmark of tonal restraint. Cool tones set the register here - the blues and greens easily outweigh any warm accents. Muted throughout, the palette achieves its effects through value and temperature rather than chromatic force. #544D2A functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (5.0%). A value spread of 64 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively. In the context of Roger Fry's full range of palettes, group 4 represents one movement in an ongoing chromatic dialogue.
