Palette Analysis
John French Sloan keeps values measured and balanced, a hallmark of tonal restraint. John French Sloan tilts toward cool - blues and silver-greys carry the structural weight. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. The most saturated colour, #535A3C, is reserved to 11.5% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. 51 units of value spread create a palette that is varied but unified - contrast in the service of harmony. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively. Palette 9 sits within the larger chromatic argument that John French Sloan's complete body of work advances.
