Thomas Cole sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. Thomas Cole orchestrates warmth above all else - reds, ambers, and siennas take the lead. Muted throughout, the palette achieves its effects through value and temperature rather than chromatic force. The saturated accent, #905528, registers at 3.7% - sparse enough to feel like a deliberate surprise. At 66 units of value range, the palette has the tonal breadth to sustain complex spatial readings. This is the light Thomas Cole preferred, made measurable.
