Palette Analysis

John Closterman occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. Warmth dominates - the palette of John Closterman leans heavily on the yellow-orange-red arc of the colour wheel. Muted throughout, the palette achieves its effects through value and temperature rather than chromatic force. #29586C delivers the chromatic peak at only 3.8% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. 81 units of value range underpin the palette's structural clarity: the eye always knows where light falls. This is palette 2 of John Closterman's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
