John Bradley Master Palette

Palette Analysis

Values in John Bradley rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. John Bradley builds on cool foundations: the palette favours the blue-cyan-green arc. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. The most saturated colour, #E2A117, is reserved to 1.6% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. The full value range is 61 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively. The palette is recognisably John Bradley's own: particular in its temperature, chroma, and the economy of its brightest note.
