Values in Joseph Stannard tilt decisively toward white, giving the palette its luminous character. Warm hues command this palette; Joseph Stannard favours the reds, oranges, and yellows of firelight and earth. Muted throughout, the palette achieves its effects through value and temperature rather than chromatic force. The saturated accent, #AA773E, registers at 2.4% - sparse enough to feel like a deliberate surprise. A value spread of 57 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light. Palette 3 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Joseph Stannard's complete body of work advances.
