Values in James Malton tilt decisively toward white, giving the palette its luminous character. Blues and teal-greys govern the palette, lending it an aquatic or atmospheric quality. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. Only 9.0% is devoted to #866D4F, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. At 76 units of value range, the palette has the tonal breadth to sustain complex spatial readings. High luminosity and cool temperature suggest the plein-air condition: unfiltered daylight and open sky. James Malton's palette 1 carries its own internal logic while remaining in conversation with the artist's broader colour intelligence.
