Palette Analysis

Values in John Henderson rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Heat pervades this palette; warm chromatic identities outweigh cool ones at almost every weight. Chroma hovers near zero; colour declares itself through subtle shifts in hue rather than outright saturation. John Henderson gives 25.4% of the composition to a single #B1A597 - a decisive chromatic anchor. Only 6.2% is devoted to #816044, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. Value range is moderate at 43 units - enough contrast for legibility, not so much as to fragment the tonal unity. John Henderson's palette 2 carries its own internal logic while remaining in conversation with the artist's broader colour intelligence.
