Anatole Vely French Palette 2

Palette Analysis

Anatole Vely French dwells firmly in the shadows, with no more than a whisper of light. Heat pervades this palette; warm chromatic identities outweigh cool ones at almost every weight. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. A single dominant - #16110D at 33.1% - sets the character of the whole composition. #846232 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (3.7%). The full value range is 64 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. Together these qualities place Anatole Vely French firmly in the tonal tradition - concerned with mood and atmosphere rather than chromatic display. Palette 2 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Anatole Vely French's complete body of work advances.
