Art Informel is built on dark foundations, with values clustered toward shadow. Temperature reads distinctly warm: the reds and earth tones carry the compositional weight. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. #884434 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (9.4%). At 81 units of value range, the palette has the tonal breadth to sustain complex spatial readings. Together these qualities place the palette firmly in the tonal tradition - concerned with mood and atmosphere rather than chromatic display.
