Palette Analysis
John Collier keeps values measured and balanced, a hallmark of tonal restraint. Warm and cool tones are held in careful balance - neither family dominates, creating tension and resolution simultaneously. All colours lean toward grey, building depth through value rather than colour punch. #171110 at 32.7% of the palette: an overwhelming presence that pulls all other colours into its gravitational field. #482E1D functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (3.4%). A value spread of 58 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light. This is palette 4 of John Collier's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
