Palette Analysis
Jose Malhoa occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. Warm hues command this palette; Jose Malhoa favours the reds, oranges, and yellows of firelight and earth. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. The saturated accent, #CE9948, registers at 6.6% - sparse enough to feel like a deliberate surprise. The value range spans 57 units across the palette, providing the full gamut from deep shadow to near-white and ensuring clear tonal hierarchy. Taken together, these qualities constitute Jose Malhoa's chromatic voice - distinctive enough to be read across an entire body of work.
