Palette Analysis
William Simpson distributes its values across the middle register, creating harmony without high contrast. Warm hues command this palette; William Simpson favours the reds, oranges, and yellows of firelight and earth. Chroma hovers near zero; colour declares itself through subtle shifts in hue rather than outright saturation. #934845 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (2.5%). From deepest dark to palest light, the palette traverses 66 units of the value scale - a span that creates natural depth. William Simpson arrived at this balance through long practice; the palette carries the weight of that experience.
