Antoine-Jean Gros Palette 2
Shadowed Bister
Shadowed Low-key - values weighted toward shadow, the palette of dim interiors and overcast skies.
Bister Dark warm brown - a traditional ink and wash pigment made from wood soot.
Palette Analysis
Antoine-Jean Gros occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. Yellow, ochre, sienna: warm hues that Antoine-Jean Gros deploys as the palette's primary energy. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. Only 3.1% is devoted to #91412E, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. A value spread of 58 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light. This is palette 2 of Antoine-Jean Gros's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
