Palette Analysis

Jan Joest sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. Heat pervades this palette; warm chromatic identities outweigh cool ones at almost every weight. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. The most saturated colour, #857643, is reserved to 6.0% 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. This is palette 5 of Jan Joest's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
