Palette Analysis

Stanley Spencer distributes its values across the middle register, creating harmony without high contrast. Stanley Spencer tilts toward cool - blues and silver-greys carry the structural weight. All colours lean toward grey, building depth through value rather than colour punch. The most saturated colour, #B85838, is reserved to 6.0% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. The full value range is 64 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively. Palette 4 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Stanley Spencer's complete body of work advances.
