Virginia Frances Sterrett Palette 6

Palette Analysis

Virginia Frances Sterrett distributes its values across the middle register, creating harmony without high contrast. Blues and teal-greys govern the palette, lending it an aquatic or atmospheric quality. Saturation is deliberately withheld - the beauty here lies in the near-monochromatic gradations rather than colour difference. #98765D functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (4.8%). The value range spans 74 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 6 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Virginia Frances Sterrett's complete body of work advances.
