Palette Analysis
Carle Vernet is high-key - luminous, open, and weighted toward light. Blues and teal-greys govern the palette, lending it an aquatic or atmospheric quality. The absence of saturated colour is itself an expressive choice: this is a palette of restraint and atmosphere. The highest-chroma note - #9A5930 - appears at just 3.6%, deployed as a precision accent against the quieter ground. A value spread of 76 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively. This is palette 10 of Carle Vernet's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
