Sam Bough Palette 2

Palette Analysis

The value structure of Sam Bough is mid-key: quiet, controlled, and cohesive. Temperature is cool-dominant, with blue and green families claiming the largest areas. Colours are neither washed out nor blazing; they occupy the productive middle ground of the chroma scale. The most saturated colour, #84632C, is reserved to 7.5% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. From deepest dark to palest light, the palette traverses 58 units of the value scale - a span that creates natural depth. The mid-to-high key, cool bias, and moderate chroma point to outdoor observation - sky and diffused daylight as the dominant light source. This is palette 2 of Sam Bough's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
