Palette Analysis

Joseph Adam distributes its values across the middle register, creating harmony without high contrast. Temperature is cool-dominant, with blue and green families claiming the largest areas. Muted throughout, the palette achieves its effects through value and temperature rather than chromatic force. #EBDDA7 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (2.9%). The value range spans 67 units across the palette, providing the full gamut from deep shadow to near-white and ensuring clear tonal hierarchy. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively. This is palette 2 of Joseph Adam's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
