Palette Analysis

Values in James Hayllar rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Cool hues prevail: blues, greens, and greys anchor the palette's emotional temperature. All colours lean toward grey, building depth through value rather than colour punch. #6F391D functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (10.0%). 61 units of value range underpin the palette's structural clarity: the eye always knows where light falls. The mid-to-high key, cool bias, and moderate chroma point to outdoor observation - sky and diffused daylight as the dominant light source. The palette is recognisably James Hayllar's own: particular in its temperature, chroma, and the economy of its brightest note.
