Palette Analysis
The value structure of John Lavery is mid-key: quiet, controlled, and cohesive. A distinctly cool atmosphere runs through this palette: sky, water, and mist given colour form. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. Only 10.4% is devoted to #C8B793, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. The value range of 49 units sits in the comfortable middle: enough depth, enough light, neither extreme. High luminosity and cool temperature suggest the plein-air condition: unfiltered daylight and open sky. This is palette 2 of John Lavery's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
