Jock Macdonald Palette 1

Palette Analysis

Jock Macdonald works in the upper reaches of the value scale, creating an atmosphere of brightness and expansiveness. Cool tones set the register here - the blues and greens easily outweigh any warm accents. Saturation is measured and controlled, giving the palette presence without visual aggression. #C3AD68 delivers the chromatic peak at only 9.7% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. 53 units of value spread create a palette that is varied but unified - contrast in the service of harmony. High luminosity and cool temperature suggest the plein-air condition: unfiltered daylight and open sky. Jock Macdonald's palette 1 carries its own internal logic while remaining in conversation with the artist's broader colour intelligence.
