John O'Connor is strongly light-biased - shadow is suggested rather than declared. Cool tones set the register here - the blues and greens easily outweigh any warm accents. Saturation is measured and controlled, giving the palette presence without visual aggression. A single dominant - #FAC877 at 27.7% - sets the character of the whole composition. The most saturated colour, #835714, is reserved to 7.2% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. 62 units of value range underpin the palette's structural clarity: the eye always knows where light falls. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively. John O'Connor's palette 1 carries its own internal logic while remaining in conversation with the artist's broader colour intelligence.
