John Crome Palette 6

Palette Analysis

Values in John Crome rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. A distinctly cool atmosphere runs through this palette: sky, water, and mist given colour form. Chroma hovers near zero; colour declares itself through subtle shifts in hue rather than outright saturation. At 11.8%, #47351F carries the palette's sharpest chromatic charge: an accent that earns its place precisely because it is withheld. At 65 units of value range, the palette has the tonal breadth to sustain complex spatial readings. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively. Palette 6 sits within the larger chromatic argument that John Crome's complete body of work advances.
