William Maw Egley occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. Warmth dominates - the palette of William Maw Egley leans heavily on the yellow-orange-red arc of the colour wheel. Mid-range chroma keeps the palette grounded - colourful but not strident. The highest-chroma note - #381F11 - appears at just 13.3%, deployed as a precision accent against the quieter ground. The full value range is 57 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. Palette 5 sits within the larger chromatic argument that William Maw Egley's complete body of work advances.
