Alexandre-Jacques Chantron sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. Alexandre-Jacques Chantron balances warm and cool with remarkable evenness, giving the composition its characteristic vibrancy. All colours lean toward grey, building depth through value rather than colour punch. Alexandre-Jacques Chantron gives 26.0% of the composition to a single #5D503D - a decisive chromatic anchor. #A36F2E functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (2.1%). 54 units of value spread create a palette that is varied but unified - contrast in the service of harmony. Palette 2 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Alexandre-Jacques Chantron's complete body of work advances.
