Alexandre Thomas Francia Palette 1

Palette Analysis

Light floods Alexandre Thomas Francia; the palette keeps values pale and airy across its range. Cool tones set the register here - the blues and greens easily outweigh any warm accents. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. #A06F41 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (3.4%). A value spread of 64 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light. 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 Alexandre Thomas Francia's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
