The high-key values of Andre Derain give it an effulgent, almost bleached quality. Andre Derain tilts toward cool - blues and silver-greys carry the structural weight. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. The most saturated colour, #3E60A1, is reserved to 5.1% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. From deepest dark to palest light, the palette traverses 65 units of the value scale - a span that creates natural depth. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively. Palette 2 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Andre Derain's complete body of work advances.
