Samuel Prout is high in key: pale, luminous, and filled with optical air. Temperature is balanced: the palette pits warm earth against cool sky without declaring a winner. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. 33.2% of the palette belongs to #B8B5B3, a concentration that makes it the unmistakable visual centre. #93713F functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (5.2%). Value range is moderate at 54 units - enough contrast for legibility, not so much as to fragment the tonal unity. This is palette 1 of Samuel Prout's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
