John Absolon Palette 2

Palette Analysis

John Absolon is high-key - luminous, open, and weighted toward light. A distinctly cool atmosphere runs through this palette: sky, water, and mist given colour form. All colours lean toward grey, building depth through value rather than colour punch. #5B391B functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (7.2%). At 52 units across the value scale, the palette keeps contrast readable without letting it dominate. The mid-to-high key, cool bias, and moderate chroma point to outdoor observation - sky and diffused daylight as the dominant light source. John Absolon's palette 2 carries its own internal logic while remaining in conversation with the artist's broader colour intelligence.
