Thomas Cole keeps values measured and balanced, a hallmark of tonal restraint. Warm and cool tones are held in careful balance - neither family dominates, creating tension and resolution simultaneously. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. #795925 delivers the chromatic peak at only 6.2% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. A value spread of 73 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light. Palette 4 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Thomas Cole's complete body of work advances.
