Gamboge Deep golden yellow - a traditional warm pigment, rich amber-gold.
Palette Analysis
Mid-key values give John Ballantyne its characteristic quietness - nothing blazes, nothing disappears. The dominant temperature is warm, with earth tones and fire-hues setting the emotional key. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. Only 8.4% is devoted to #7F5126, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. At 71 units of value range, the palette has the tonal breadth to sustain complex spatial readings. Palette 1 sits within the larger chromatic argument that John Ballantyne's complete body of work advances.
