John Pettie Palette 2

Palette Analysis

John Pettie sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. John Pettie tilts toward cool - blues and silver-greys carry the structural weight. Mid-saturation across the board: the palette has colour character without chromatic excess. #A46734 is not a small accent - at 4.9% it qualifies as a major presence and gives the palette its chromatic identity. Spanning 49 units on the value axis, the palette achieves the balance between tonal flatness and fragmentation. High luminosity and cool temperature suggest the plein-air condition: unfiltered daylight and open sky. Palette 2 sits within the larger chromatic argument that John Pettie's complete body of work advances.
