Palette Analysis

John Haynes-Williams distributes its values across the middle register, creating harmony without high contrast. Yellow, ochre, sienna: warm hues that John Haynes-Williams deploys as the palette's primary energy. A restrained, mid-chroma palette: every hue is present and legible, but nothing shouts. The highest-chroma note - #815523 - appears at just 10.1%, deployed as a precision accent against the quieter ground. Value range is moderate at 52 units - enough contrast for legibility, not so much as to fragment the tonal unity. This is palette 6 of John Haynes-Williams's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
