Palette Analysis

William Blake works in the upper reaches of the value scale, creating an atmosphere of brightness and expansiveness. The dominant temperature is warm, with earth tones and fire-hues setting the emotional key. Saturation is deliberately withheld - the beauty here lies in the near-monochromatic gradations rather than colour difference. #A89778 delivers the chromatic peak at only 8.2% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. 52 units of value spread create a palette that is varied but unified - contrast in the service of harmony. Palette 3 sits within the larger chromatic argument that William Blake's complete body of work advances.
