Light floods Thomas Gainsborough; the palette keeps values pale and airy across its range. Thomas Gainsborough tilts toward cool - blues and silver-greys carry the structural weight. Chroma is held at a comfortable level - distinct colours, but no single hue is allowed to overwhelm. The most saturated colour, #847838, is reserved to 10.5% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. 67 units of value range underpin the palette's structural clarity: the eye always knows where light falls. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively. Palette 2 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Thomas Gainsborough's complete body of work advances.
