Palette Analysis
John Quincy Adams occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. Heat pervades this palette; warm chromatic identities outweigh cool ones at almost every weight. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. #634334 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (6.3%). 61 units of value range underpin the palette's structural clarity: the eye always knows where light falls. In the context of John Quincy Adams's full range of palettes, group 1 represents one movement in an ongoing chromatic dialogue.
