Palette Analysis

John French Sloan keeps values measured and balanced, a hallmark of tonal restraint. The dominant temperature is warm, with earth tones and fire-hues setting the emotional key. Chroma hovers near zero; colour declares itself through subtle shifts in hue rather than outright saturation. #993653 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (3.3%). A value spread of 59 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light. This is palette 8 of John French Sloan's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
