Jose Maria Velasco sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. The dominant temperature is warm, with earth tones and fire-hues setting the emotional key. Chroma hovers near zero; colour declares itself through subtle shifts in hue rather than outright saturation. The most saturated colour, #C9A973, is reserved to 4.9% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. From deepest dark to palest light, the palette traverses 59 units of the value scale - a span that creates natural depth. Palette 12 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Jose Maria Velasco's complete body of work advances.
