Virginia Frances Sterrett Palette 5

Palette Analysis

Virginia Frances Sterrett sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. Virginia Frances Sterrett builds on cool foundations: the palette favours the blue-cyan-green arc. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. Only 7.0% is devoted to #E8DAB0, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. The full value range is 72 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively. This is palette 5 of Virginia Frances Sterrett's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
