Gamboge Deep golden yellow - a traditional warm pigment, rich amber-gold.
Palette Analysis
James Barry distributes its values across the middle register, creating harmony without high contrast. Heat pervades this palette; warm chromatic identities outweigh cool ones at almost every weight. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. The saturated accent, #4C1C19, registers at 3.3% - sparse enough to feel like a deliberate surprise. 72 units of value range underpin the palette's structural clarity: the eye always knows where light falls. This is the light James Barry preferred, made measurable.
