The value structure of Thomas Sully is mid-key: quiet, controlled, and cohesive. Temperature reads distinctly warm: the reds and earth tones from Thomas Sully carry the compositional weight. The absence of saturated colour is itself an expressive choice: this is a palette of restraint and atmosphere. 29.6% of the palette belongs to #110C0D, a concentration that makes it the unmistakable visual centre. #985833 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (4.1%). The full value range is 77 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. This is palette 2 of Thomas Sully's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
