Palette Analysis

John O'Connor is high-key - luminous, open, and weighted toward light. Warm and cool are kept in productive tension, creating the kind of chromatic harmony that sustains the eye. Saturation is deliberately withheld - the beauty here lies in the near-monochromatic gradations rather than colour difference. At 4.9%, #C7A078 carries the palette's sharpest chromatic charge: an accent that earns its place precisely because it is withheld. At 52 units across the value scale, the palette keeps contrast readable without letting it dominate. Palette 2 sits within the larger chromatic argument that John O'Connor's complete body of work advances.
