Palette Analysis

Values in Jean Hey rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. The dominant temperature is warm, with earth tones and fire-hues setting the emotional key. A restrained, mid-chroma palette: every hue is present and legible, but nothing shouts. The saturated accent, #D28355, registers at 7.6% - sparse enough to feel like a deliberate surprise. From deepest dark to palest light, the palette traverses 68 units of the value scale - a span that creates natural depth. This is palette 5 of Jean Hey's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
