Palette Analysis

John Souch distributes its values across the middle register, creating harmony without high contrast. Warm hues command this palette; John Souch favours the reds, oranges, and yellows of firelight and earth. Chroma is moderate: colours carry enough saturation to be read as colour, but the palette stops well short of garish intensity. The most saturated colour, #DBA96B, is reserved to 2.8% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. The full value range is 62 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. In the context of John Souch's full range of palettes, group 2 represents one movement in an ongoing chromatic dialogue.
