Thomas Faed sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. The palette achieves thermal balance - reds and blues, ochres and greens, each holding the other in check. Muted throughout, the palette achieves its effects through value and temperature rather than chromatic force. The highest-chroma note - #D2B694 - appears at just 5.9%, deployed as a precision accent against the quieter ground. At 58 units of value range, the palette has the tonal breadth to sustain complex spatial readings. Palette 2 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Thomas Faed's complete body of work advances.
