Palette Analysis

The high-key values of Thomas Girtin give it an effulgent, almost bleached quality. The palette achieves thermal balance - reds and blues, ochres and greens, each holding the other in check. Saturation is deliberately withheld - the beauty here lies in the near-monochromatic gradations rather than colour difference. #543E2D functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (6.3%). The full value range is 65 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. In the context of Thomas Girtin's full range of palettes, group 2 represents one movement in an ongoing chromatic dialogue.
