Palette Analysis

Mid-key values give John Neagle its characteristic quietness - nothing blazes, nothing disappears. Yellow, ochre, sienna: warm hues that John Neagle deploys as the palette's primary energy. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. The saturated accent, #81472C, registers at 3.8% - sparse enough to feel like a deliberate surprise. The value range of 52 units sits in the comfortable middle: enough depth, enough light, neither extreme. Palette 4 sits within the larger chromatic argument that John Neagle's complete body of work advances.
