Auguste Rodin occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. Auguste Rodin orchestrates warmth above all else - reds, ambers, and siennas take the lead. Saturation is deliberately withheld - the beauty here lies in the near-monochromatic gradations rather than colour difference. #A05E37 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (7.5%). The value range spans 57 units across the palette, providing the full gamut from deep shadow to near-white and ensuring clear tonal hierarchy. These proportions encode Auguste Rodin's instinctive sense of how much of each quality the eye can hold.
