Palette Analysis

Values in William Magrath rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Warm and cool are kept in productive tension, creating the kind of chromatic harmony that sustains the eye. The absence of saturated colour is itself an expressive choice: this is a palette of restraint and atmosphere. The most saturated colour, #A22B27, is reserved to 2.5% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. 49 units of value spread create a palette that is varied but unified - contrast in the service of harmony. Taken together, these qualities constitute William Magrath's chromatic voice - distinctive enough to be read across an entire body of work.
