Light floods John Marin; the palette keeps values pale and airy across its range. Cool hues prevail: blues, greens, and greys anchor the palette's emotional temperature. Mid-saturation across the board: the palette has colour character without chromatic excess. #84ADD9 delivers the chromatic peak at only 14.7% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. The palette spans 49 value units: a measured range that delivers coherence over drama. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively. John Marin's palette 1 carries its own internal logic while remaining in conversation with the artist's broader colour intelligence.
