Values in Adolphe Piot rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. The palette achieves thermal balance - reds and blues, ochres and greens, each holding the other in check. The absence of saturated colour is itself an expressive choice: this is a palette of restraint and atmosphere. The highest-chroma note - #594A39 - appears at just 8.9%, deployed as a precision accent against the quieter ground. At 71 units of value range, the palette has the tonal breadth to sustain complex spatial readings. This is palette 1 of Adolphe Piot's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
