Palette Analysis
Values in William Merritt Chase rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Temperature is cool-dominant, with blue and green families claiming the largest areas. Chroma hovers near zero; colour declares itself through subtle shifts in hue rather than outright saturation. Only 5.3% is devoted to #673B21, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. 64 units of value range underpin the palette's structural clarity: the eye always knows where light falls. High luminosity and cool temperature suggest the plein-air condition: unfiltered daylight and open sky. Palette 12 sits within the larger chromatic argument that William Merritt Chase's complete body of work advances.
