Palette Analysis
William Dyce keeps values measured and balanced, a hallmark of tonal restraint. William Dyce orchestrates warmth above all else - reds, ambers, and siennas take the lead. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. #904429 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (7.8%). From deepest dark to palest light, the palette traverses 68 units of the value scale - a span that creates natural depth. Taken together, these qualities constitute William Dyce's chromatic voice - distinctive enough to be read across an entire body of work.
