Palette Analysis
John Steuart Curry distributes its values across the middle register, creating harmony without high contrast. The palette achieves thermal balance - reds and blues, ochres and greens, each holding the other in check. Chroma hovers near zero; colour declares itself through subtle shifts in hue rather than outright saturation. The most saturated colour, #C09D5B, is reserved to 10.0% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. At 59 units of value range, the palette has the tonal breadth to sustain complex spatial readings. These proportions encode John Steuart Curry's instinctive sense of how much of each quality the eye can hold.
