Palette Analysis
John Russell occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. John Russell tilts toward cool - blues and silver-greys carry the structural weight. Saturation is deliberately withheld - the beauty here lies in the near-monochromatic gradations rather than colour difference. #6E6043 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (11.1%). At 61 units of value range, the palette has the tonal breadth to sustain complex spatial readings. 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 Russell's complete body of work advances.
