Palette Analysis

William Owen sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. Heat pervades this palette; warm chromatic identities outweigh cool ones at almost every weight. Muted throughout, the palette achieves its effects through value and temperature rather than chromatic force. #CB946B functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (2.7%). 61 units of value range underpin the palette's structural clarity: the eye always knows where light falls. In the context of William Owen's full range of palettes, group 1 represents one movement in an ongoing chromatic dialogue.
