John Brett Palette 2

Palette Analysis

John Brett distributes its values across the middle register, creating harmony without high contrast. A distinctly cool atmosphere runs through this palette: sky, water, and mist given colour form. Muted throughout, the palette achieves its effects through value and temperature rather than chromatic force. The saturated accent, #5C909F, registers at 6.6% - sparse enough to feel like a deliberate surprise. The palette spans 51 value units: a measured range that delivers coherence over drama. The mid-to-high key, cool bias, and moderate chroma point to outdoor observation - sky and diffused daylight as the dominant light source. Palette 2 sits within the larger chromatic argument that John Brett's complete body of work advances.
