Jock Macdonald is strongly light-biased - shadow is suggested rather than declared. Cool hues prevail: blues, greens, and greys anchor the palette's emotional temperature. Muted throughout, the palette achieves its effects through value and temperature rather than chromatic force. The most saturated colour, #E2E6B1, is reserved to 9.7% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. 74 units of value range underpin the palette's structural clarity: the eye always knows where light falls. High luminosity and cool temperature suggest the plein-air condition: unfiltered daylight and open sky. Jock Macdonald's palette 2 carries its own internal logic while remaining in conversation with the artist's broader colour intelligence.
