Palette Analysis
Light floods Charles Cottet; the palette keeps values pale and airy across its range. Charles Cottet orchestrates warmth above all else - reds, ambers, and siennas take the lead. Mid-saturation across the board: the palette has colour character without chromatic excess. 25.1% of the palette belongs to #CB8C55, a concentration that makes it the unmistakable visual centre. The highest-chroma note - #AB4619 - appears at just 5.0%, deployed as a precision accent against the quieter ground. Value range is moderate at 50 units - enough contrast for legibility, not so much as to fragment the tonal unity. Palette 2 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Charles Cottet's complete body of work advances.
