Violet Oakley 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. The highest-chroma note - #BF6A43 - appears at just 5.1%, deployed as a precision accent against the quieter ground. A value spread of 67 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light. This is palette 2 of Violet Oakley's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
