Palette Analysis

Values in John Greenhill rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Warm hues command this palette; John Greenhill favours the reds, oranges, and yellows of firelight and earth. The absence of saturated colour is itself an expressive choice: this is a palette of restraint and atmosphere. At 8.0%, #8A5B28 carries the palette's sharpest chromatic charge: an accent that earns its place precisely because it is withheld. 68 units of value range underpin the palette's structural clarity: the eye always knows where light falls. Taken together, these qualities constitute John Greenhill's chromatic voice - distinctive enough to be read across an entire body of work.
