James Campbell Noble Palette 3

Palette Analysis

James Campbell Noble sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. Cool tones set the register here - the blues and greens easily outweigh any warm accents. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. The most saturated colour, #755130, is reserved to 4.2% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. The value range of 49 units sits in the comfortable middle: enough depth, enough light, neither extreme. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively. In the context of James Campbell Noble's full range of palettes, group 3 represents one movement in an ongoing chromatic dialogue.
