Charles Cottet Palette 3
Muted Parchment
Muted Deliberately desaturated - chroma pulled toward gray, the restraint of tonal painting.
Parchment Aged warm neutral - the color of old manuscript parchment, tan and slightly yellowed.
Palette Analysis
The value structure of Charles Cottet is mid-key: quiet, controlled, and cohesive. Yellow, ochre, sienna: warm hues that Charles Cottet deploys as the palette's primary energy. Chroma hovers near zero; colour declares itself through subtle shifts in hue rather than outright saturation. 25.4% of the palette belongs to #BAAEAD, a concentration that makes it the unmistakable visual centre. #A8876E functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (6.8%). 61 units of value range underpin the palette's structural clarity: the eye always knows where light falls. Palette 3 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Charles Cottet's complete body of work advances.
