Jose Malhoa is strongly light-biased - shadow is suggested rather than declared. Warm hues command this palette; Jose Malhoa favours the reds, oranges, and yellows of firelight and earth. The absence of saturated colour is itself an expressive choice: this is a palette of restraint and atmosphere. 31.5% of the palette belongs to #E3D7CA, a concentration that makes it the unmistakable visual centre. #E0B288 delivers the chromatic peak at only 7.6% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. 54 units of value spread create a palette that is varied but unified - contrast in the service of harmony. In the context of Jose Malhoa's full range of palettes, group 3 represents one movement in an ongoing chromatic dialogue.
