José Antolínez occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. 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, #5A3A1E, is reserved to 10.0% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. The full value range is 56 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. The palette is recognisably José Antolínez's own: particular in its temperature, chroma, and the economy of its brightest note.
