Palette Analysis
Mid-key values give William McGregor Paxton its characteristic quietness - nothing blazes, nothing disappears. Heat pervades this palette; warm chromatic identities outweigh cool ones at almost every weight. Chroma is held at a comfortable level - distinct colours, but no single hue is allowed to overwhelm. #922811 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (4.9%). At 68 units of value range, the palette has the tonal breadth to sustain complex spatial readings. In the context of William McGregor Paxton's full range of palettes, group 2 represents one movement in an ongoing chromatic dialogue.
