Palette Analysis

Mid-key values give John Bauer its characteristic quietness - nothing blazes, nothing disappears. Warmth dominates - the palette of John Bauer leans heavily on the yellow-orange-red arc of the colour wheel. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. The highest-chroma note - #E3DAC4 - appears at just 9.8%, deployed as a precision accent against the quieter ground. 58 units of value range underpin the palette's structural clarity: the eye always knows where light falls. In the context of John Bauer's full range of palettes, group 2 represents one movement in an ongoing chromatic dialogue.
