John Jackson Palette 2

Palette Analysis

Values in John Jackson rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. A distinctly cool atmosphere runs through this palette: sky, water, and mist given colour form. All colours lean toward grey, building depth through value rather than colour punch. #1B1A0D claims 25.0% of the surface, functioning as the work's tonal foundation. The most saturated colour, #D7BC6E, is reserved to 4.4% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. At 61 units of value range, the palette has the tonal breadth to sustain complex spatial readings. High luminosity and cool temperature suggest the plein-air condition: unfiltered daylight and open sky. Palette 2 sits within the larger chromatic argument that John Jackson's complete body of work advances.
