Gamboge Deep golden yellow - a traditional warm pigment, rich amber-gold.
Palette Analysis
Thomas Hart Benton 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. All colours lean toward grey, building depth through value rather than colour punch. #DEC693 delivers the chromatic peak at only 6.0% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. From deepest dark to palest light, the palette traverses 60 units of the value scale - a span that creates natural depth. This is the light Thomas Hart Benton preferred, made measurable.
