Joan Brull occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. A distinctly cool atmosphere runs through this palette: sky, water, and mist given colour form. The absence of saturated colour is itself an expressive choice: this is a palette of restraint and atmosphere. The most saturated colour, #261A13, is reserved to 4.8% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. The full value range is 59 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. High luminosity and cool temperature suggest the plein-air condition: unfiltered daylight and open sky. Palette 8 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Joan Brull's complete body of work advances.
