Palette Analysis
Values in John Varley rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. John Varley builds on cool foundations: the palette favours the blue-cyan-green arc. Muted throughout, the palette achieves its effects through value and temperature rather than chromatic force. The highest-chroma note - #AB8351 - appears at just 1.5%, deployed as a precision accent against the quieter ground. From deepest dark to palest light, the palette traverses 59 units of the value scale - a span that creates natural depth. High luminosity and cool temperature suggest the plein-air condition: unfiltered daylight and open sky. This is palette 2 of John Varley's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
