Palette Analysis
Frank Johnston distributes its values across the middle register, creating harmony without high contrast. 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. #AF7334 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (1.7%). 53 units of value spread create a palette that is varied but unified - contrast in the service of harmony. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively. Frank Johnston arrived at this balance through long practice; the palette carries the weight of that experience.
