Palette Analysis

Thomas Cole keeps values measured and balanced, a hallmark of tonal restraint. Warm hues command this palette; Thomas Cole favours the reds, oranges, and yellows of firelight and earth. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. #7A5331 delivers the chromatic peak at only 10.6% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. A value spread of 67 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light. Palette 3 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Thomas Cole's complete body of work advances.
