The value structure of John Brett is mid-key: quiet, controlled, and cohesive. Warm hues command this palette; John Brett favours the reds, oranges, and yellows of firelight and earth. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. #DFD9CB delivers the chromatic peak at only 11.5% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. 66 units of value range underpin the palette's structural clarity: the eye always knows where light falls. Palette 4 sits within the larger chromatic argument that John Brett's complete body of work advances.
