Palette Analysis
William Spittle keeps values measured and balanced, a hallmark of tonal restraint. Cool hues prevail: blues, greens, and greys anchor the palette's emotional temperature. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. At 3.7%, #6D4D35 carries the palette's sharpest chromatic charge: an accent that earns its place precisely because it is withheld. 44 units of value spread create a palette that is varied but unified - contrast in the service of harmony. High luminosity and cool temperature suggest the plein-air condition: unfiltered daylight and open sky. In the context of William Spittle's full range of palettes, group 2 represents one movement in an ongoing chromatic dialogue.
