Palette Analysis
William Owen 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 Owen leans heavily on the yellow-orange-red arc of the colour wheel. Muted throughout, the palette achieves its effects through value and temperature rather than chromatic force. At 6.3%, #D8AE7D carries the palette's sharpest chromatic charge: an accent that earns its place precisely because it is withheld. A value spread of 67 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light. In the context of William Owen's full range of palettes, group 2 represents one movement in an ongoing chromatic dialogue.
