T. C. Steele works in the upper reaches of the value scale, creating an atmosphere of brightness and expansiveness. Yellow, ochre, sienna: warm hues that T. C. Steele deploys as the palette's primary energy. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. #8B5543 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (2.5%). At 63 units of value range, the palette has the tonal breadth to sustain complex spatial readings. T. C. Steele's palette 2 carries its own internal logic while remaining in conversation with the artist's broader colour intelligence.
