John Gast distributes its values across the middle register, creating harmony without high contrast. Warm hues command this palette; John Gast favours the reds, oranges, and yellows of firelight and earth. Muted throughout, the palette achieves its effects through value and temperature rather than chromatic force. The saturated accent, #844641, registers at 3.0% - sparse enough to feel like a deliberate surprise. The value range of 52 units sits in the comfortable middle: enough depth, enough light, neither extreme. Palette 2 sits within the larger chromatic argument that John Gast's complete body of work advances.
