Palette Analysis
Values in Thomas Gainsborough rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Yellow, ochre, sienna: warm hues that Thomas Gainsborough deploys as the palette's primary energy. All colours lean toward grey, building depth through value rather than colour punch. #E4D8B2 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (8.4%). 61 units of value range underpin the palette's structural clarity: the eye always knows where light falls. This is palette 6 of Thomas Gainsborough's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
