Palette Analysis
Vanessa Bell keeps values measured and balanced, a hallmark of tonal restraint. Blues and teal-greys govern the palette, lending it an aquatic or atmospheric quality. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. Only 8.5% is devoted to #9D6048, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. The value range spans 56 units across the palette, providing the full gamut from deep shadow to near-white and ensuring clear tonal hierarchy. High luminosity and cool temperature suggest the plein-air condition: unfiltered daylight and open sky. Palette 4 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Vanessa Bell's complete body of work advances.
