Values in Walter Crane tilt decisively toward white, giving the palette its luminous character. Heat pervades this palette; warm chromatic identities outweigh cool ones at almost every weight. All colours lean toward grey, building depth through value rather than colour punch. #FBF0E9 at 35.6% of the palette: an overwhelming presence that pulls all other colours into its gravitational field. Only 7.6% is devoted to #E16C68, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. 62 units of value range underpin the palette's structural clarity: the eye always knows where light falls. This is palette 1 of Walter Crane's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
