Juan Bautista Maíno Palette 1

Palette Analysis

Juan Bautista Maíno keeps values measured and balanced, a hallmark of tonal restraint. Temperature is cool-dominant, with blue and green families claiming the largest areas. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. At 9.5%, #658FA0 carries the palette's sharpest chromatic charge: an accent that earns its place precisely because it is withheld. At 65 units of value range, the palette has the tonal breadth to sustain complex spatial readings. The mid-to-high key, cool bias, and moderate chroma point to outdoor observation - sky and diffused daylight as the dominant light source. This is palette 1 of Juan Bautista Maíno's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
