Palette Analysis

Sarah Purser sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. Yellow, ochre, sienna: warm hues that Sarah Purser deploys as the palette's primary energy. Chroma hovers near zero; colour declares itself through subtle shifts in hue rather than outright saturation. #DFD3B7 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (8.0%). A value spread of 64 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light. Sarah Purser arrived at this balance through long practice; the palette carries the weight of that experience.
