Gamboge Deep golden yellow - a traditional warm pigment, rich amber-gold.
Palette Analysis
William Hogarth occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. Warm hues command this palette; William Hogarth favours the reds, oranges, and yellows of firelight and earth. Saturation is deliberately withheld - the beauty here lies in the near-monochromatic gradations rather than colour difference. The highest-chroma note - #A95137 - appears at just 3.0%, deployed as a precision accent against the quieter ground. The full value range is 59 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. These proportions encode William Hogarth's instinctive sense of how much of each quality the eye can hold.
