John Bradley keeps values measured and balanced, a hallmark of tonal restraint. Heat pervades this palette; warm chromatic identities outweigh cool ones at almost every weight. All colours lean toward grey, building depth through value rather than colour punch. John Bradley gives 34.3% of the composition to a single #14110D - a decisive chromatic anchor. #9D4028 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (1.5%). From deepest dark to palest light, the palette traverses 60 units of the value scale - a span that creates natural depth. Palette 5 sits within the larger chromatic argument that John Bradley's complete body of work advances.
