Palette Analysis

Mid-key values give John Graham-Gilbert its characteristic quietness - nothing blazes, nothing disappears. Warmth dominates - the palette of John Graham-Gilbert leans heavily on the yellow-orange-red arc of the colour wheel. All colours lean toward grey, building depth through value rather than colour punch. The most saturated colour, #CA863F, is reserved to 5.8% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. The value range of 52 units sits in the comfortable middle: enough depth, enough light, neither extreme. Palette 4 sits within the larger chromatic argument that John Graham-Gilbert's complete body of work advances.
