The value structure of Andre Derain is mid-key: quiet, controlled, and cohesive. Andre Derain keeps warm and cool in parity, a balance that lends the work a perceptual shimmer. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. #E3D8B0 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (1.4%). The full value range is 68 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. Palette 8 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Andre Derain's complete body of work advances.
