Tom Roberts sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. Yellow, ochre, sienna: warm hues that Tom Roberts deploys as the palette's primary energy. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. The highest-chroma note - #331C24 - appears at just 11.0%, deployed as a precision accent against the quieter ground. A value spread of 71 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light. This is palette 8 of Tom Roberts's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
