William Crawford 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. Saturation is deliberately withheld - the beauty here lies in the near-monochromatic gradations rather than colour difference. Only 8.0% is devoted to #543321, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. A value spread of 73 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light. This is the light William Crawford preferred, made measurable.
