John Greenhill Palette 5

Palette Analysis

John Greenhill works almost entirely in the lower half of the value scale, privileging depth over brilliance. Warmth dominates - the palette of John Greenhill leans heavily on the yellow-orange-red arc of the colour wheel. Muted throughout, the palette achieves its effects through value and temperature rather than chromatic force. 25.3% of the palette belongs to #1D1B15, a concentration that makes it the unmistakable visual centre. #B0896E functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (1.9%). The full value range is 66 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. Together these qualities place John Greenhill firmly in the tonal tradition - concerned with mood and atmosphere rather than chromatic display. Palette 5 sits within the larger chromatic argument that John Greenhill's complete body of work advances.
