Joseph Farquharson occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. Blues and teal-greys govern the palette, lending it an aquatic or atmospheric quality. Mid-range chroma keeps the palette grounded - colourful but not strident. #BF7140 delivers the chromatic peak at only 5.2% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. 62 units of value range underpin the palette's structural clarity: the eye always knows where light falls. High luminosity and cool temperature suggest the plein-air condition: unfiltered daylight and open sky. Palette 8 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Joseph Farquharson's complete body of work advances.
