Values in David James tilt decisively toward white, giving the palette its luminous character. Blues and teal-greys govern the palette, lending it an aquatic or atmospheric quality. All colours lean toward grey, building depth through value rather than colour punch. The saturated accent, #ACC0D6, registers at 5.0% - sparse enough to feel like a deliberate surprise. The palette spans 36 value units: a measured range that delivers coherence over drama. High luminosity and cool temperature suggest the plein-air condition: unfiltered daylight and open sky. This is palette 2 of David James's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
