John Downman Master Palette
Muted Gamboge

Gamboge Deep golden yellow - a traditional warm pigment, rich amber-gold.
Palette Analysis
Values in John Downman rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Temperature reads distinctly warm: the reds and earth tones from John Downman carry the compositional weight. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. The most saturated colour, #E7D8C2, is reserved to 10.0% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. A value spread of 69 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light. The palette is a signature: John Downman's particular sense of value, warmth, and colour weight made legible.
