Values in John Graham-Gilbert rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. John Graham-Gilbert orchestrates warmth above all else - reds, ambers, and siennas take the lead. Chroma is moderate: colours carry enough saturation to be read as colour, but the palette stops well short of garish intensity. The saturated accent, #F6AD72, registers at 8.1% - sparse enough to feel like a deliberate surprise. 63 units of value range underpin the palette's structural clarity: the eye always knows where light falls. Palette 2 sits within the larger chromatic argument that John Graham-Gilbert's complete body of work advances.
