The value structure of José Garnelo is mid-key: quiet, controlled, and cohesive. Yellow, ochre, sienna: warm hues that José Garnelo deploys as the palette's primary energy. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. #B5965A delivers the chromatic peak at only 7.0% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. A value spread of 60 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light. Taken together, these qualities constitute José Garnelo's chromatic voice - distinctive enough to be read across an entire body of work.
