John Crome occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. John Crome tilts toward cool - blues and silver-greys carry the structural weight. A restrained, mid-chroma palette: every hue is present and legible, but nothing shouts. Only 7.0% is devoted to #2A2010, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. Spanning 53 units on the value axis, the palette achieves the balance between tonal flatness and fragmentation. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively. Palette 8 sits within the larger chromatic argument that John Crome's complete body of work advances.
