Palette Analysis
Values in Alexandre-Francois Desportes rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Warm and cool are kept in productive tension, creating the kind of chromatic harmony that sustains the eye. The absence of saturated colour is itself an expressive choice: this is a palette of restraint and atmosphere. The highest-chroma note - #7E5726 - appears at just 10.0%, deployed as a precision accent against the quieter ground. The full value range is 57 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. Palette 2 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Alexandre-Francois Desportes's complete body of work advances.
