Augustus John sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. Yellow, ochre, sienna: warm hues that Augustus John deploys as the palette's primary energy. Chroma is moderate: colours carry enough saturation to be read as colour, but the palette stops well short of garish intensity. The chromatic peak belongs to #43100B, and at 4.5% it dominates, not decorates. The value range of 54 units sits in the comfortable middle: enough depth, enough light, neither extreme. In the context of Augustus John's full range of palettes, group 8 represents one movement in an ongoing chromatic dialogue.
