Palette Analysis

Auguste Toulmouche sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. Warm hues command this palette; Auguste Toulmouche favours the reds, oranges, and yellows of firelight and earth. Saturation is deliberately withheld - the beauty here lies in the near-monochromatic gradations rather than colour difference. #65211E functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (4.7%). The full value range is 64 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. In the context of Auguste Toulmouche's full range of palettes, group 5 represents one movement in an ongoing chromatic dialogue.
