Palette Analysis

John Downman distributes its values across the middle register, creating harmony without high contrast. John Downman builds on cool foundations: the palette favours the blue-cyan-green arc. Muted throughout, the palette achieves its effects through value and temperature rather than chromatic force. #5A4426 delivers the chromatic peak at only 10.9% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. The full value range is 77 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively. This is palette 1 of John Downman's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
