José Garnelo Palette 8

Palette Analysis

José Garnelo sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. José Garnelo orchestrates warmth above all else - reds, ambers, and siennas take the lead. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. At 4.8%, #92532E carries the palette's sharpest chromatic charge: an accent that earns its place precisely because it is withheld. At 63 units of value range, the palette has the tonal breadth to sustain complex spatial readings. Palette 8 sits within the larger chromatic argument that José Garnelo's complete body of work advances.
