Palette Analysis
David James is high-key - luminous, open, and weighted toward light. A distinctly cool atmosphere runs through this palette: sky, water, and mist given colour form. The absence of saturated colour is itself an expressive choice: this is a palette of restraint and atmosphere. The saturated accent, #02353E, registers at 3.4% - sparse enough to feel like a deliberate surprise. Spanning 54 units on the value axis, the palette achieves the balance between tonal flatness and fragmentation. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively. This is palette 6 of David James's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
