Palette Analysis
Thomas Eakins sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. The dominant temperature is warm, with earth tones and fire-hues setting the emotional key. The absence of saturated colour is itself an expressive choice: this is a palette of restraint and atmosphere. 25.4% of the palette belongs to #1B1615, a concentration that makes it the unmistakable visual centre. #713C27 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (5.5%). The full value range is 61 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. These proportions encode Thomas Eakins's instinctive sense of how much of each quality the eye can hold.
