Palette Analysis
John Pettie distributes its values across the middle register, creating harmony without high contrast. The dominant temperature is warm, with earth tones and fire-hues setting the emotional key. Saturation is deliberately withheld - the beauty here lies in the near-monochromatic gradations rather than colour difference. #332A2A claims 32.5% of the surface, functioning as the work's tonal foundation. The most saturated colour, #E8B991, is reserved to 6.0% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. 63 units of value range underpin the palette's structural clarity: the eye always knows where light falls. Palette 4 sits within the larger chromatic argument that John Pettie's complete body of work advances.
