Palette Analysis
John Hoppner distributes its values across the middle register, creating harmony without high contrast. The dominant temperature is warm, with earth tones and fire-hues setting the emotional key. The absence of saturated colour is itself an expressive choice: this is a palette of restraint and atmosphere. The highest-chroma note - #A98E6C - appears at just 6.0%, deployed as a precision accent against the quieter ground. A value spread of 60 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light. This is palette 6 of John Hoppner's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
