Thomas Dewing Palette 10
Nocturnal Bister
Nocturnal Night-register palette - very low values, the world after dark.
Bister Dark warm brown - a traditional ink and wash pigment made from wood soot.
Palette Analysis
Values in Thomas Dewing rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Neither warm nor cool has the upper hand here; the equilibrium between the two generates the palette's visual energy. Saturation is deliberately withheld - the beauty here lies in the near-monochromatic gradations rather than colour difference. #E2BE7D functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (3.6%). The full value range is 62 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. This is palette 10 of Thomas Dewing's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
