Palette Analysis

Mid-key values give Sam Bough its characteristic quietness - nothing blazes, nothing disappears. Temperature is cool-dominant, with blue and green families claiming the largest areas. All colours lean toward grey, building depth through value rather than colour punch. #694E23 delivers the chromatic peak at only 8.5% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. The palette spans 54 value units: a measured range that delivers coherence over drama. High luminosity and cool temperature suggest the plein-air condition: unfiltered daylight and open sky. Palette 5 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Sam Bough's complete body of work advances.
