John Flaxman Palette 2

Palette Analysis

The value structure of John Flaxman is mid-key: quiet, controlled, and cohesive. Temperature is cool-dominant, with blue and green families claiming the largest areas. The absence of saturated colour is itself an expressive choice: this is a palette of restraint and atmosphere. At 39.8%, #010102 functions less as a colour accent and more as a complete atmospheric environment. #AE8F52 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (5.6%). The full value range is 80 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 2 of John Flaxman's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
