Palette Analysis
William Hart keeps values measured and balanced, a hallmark of tonal restraint. The palette achieves thermal balance - reds and blues, ochres and greens, each holding the other in check. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. #E6C26C functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (3.5%). The value range spans 65 units across the palette, providing the full gamut from deep shadow to near-white and ensuring clear tonal hierarchy. This is palette 5 of William Hart's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
