Palette Analysis
John Varley II sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. Warm hues command this palette; John Varley II favours the reds, oranges, and yellows of firelight and earth. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. The saturated accent, #7E6747, registers at 7.1% - sparse enough to feel like a deliberate surprise. Spanning 31 units on the value axis, the palette achieves the balance between tonal flatness and fragmentation. John Varley II's palette 7 carries its own internal logic while remaining in conversation with the artist's broader colour intelligence.
