Palette Analysis
Augustus John is high-key - luminous, open, and weighted toward light. Cool hues prevail: blues, greens, and greys anchor the palette's emotional temperature. Saturation is deliberately withheld - the beauty here lies in the near-monochromatic gradations rather than colour difference. The chromatic peak belongs to #C89055, and at 18.3% it dominates, not decorates. At 47 units across the value scale, the palette keeps contrast readable without letting it dominate. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively. Palette 1 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Augustus John's complete body of work advances.
