Palette Analysis

Alfred Guillou distributes its values across the middle register, creating harmony without high contrast. Cool tones set the register here - the blues and greens easily outweigh any warm accents. The absence of saturated colour is itself an expressive choice: this is a palette of restraint and atmosphere. #C3BFC0 at 25.8% of the palette: an overwhelming presence that pulls all other colours into its gravitational field. #645343 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (5.3%). From deepest dark to palest light, the palette traverses 59 units of the value scale - a span that creates natural depth. The mid-to-high key, cool bias, and moderate chroma point to outdoor observation - sky and diffused daylight as the dominant light source. Palette 2 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Alfred Guillou's complete body of work advances.
