John Absolon is high-key - luminous, open, and weighted toward light. Warm and cool tones are held in careful balance - neither family dominates, creating tension and resolution simultaneously. Chroma hovers near zero; colour declares itself through subtle shifts in hue rather than outright saturation. John Absolon gives 30.9% of the composition to a single #EFDDF5 - a decisive chromatic anchor. #AC9473 delivers the chromatic peak at only 3.6% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. A value spread of 60 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light. This is palette 3 of John Absolon's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
