Gamboge Deep golden yellow - a traditional warm pigment, rich amber-gold.
Palette Analysis
Samuel Morse occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. Yellow, ochre, sienna: warm hues that Samuel Morse deploys as the palette's primary energy. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. Only 7.8% is devoted to #A27345, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. The full value range is 62 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. Taken together, these qualities constitute Samuel Morse's chromatic voice - distinctive enough to be read across an entire body of work.
