Palette Analysis

Charles Cottet occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. Heat pervades this palette; warm chromatic identities outweigh cool ones at almost every weight. Saturation is deliberately withheld - the beauty here lies in the near-monochromatic gradations rather than colour difference. The saturated accent, #AD772B, registers at 2.8% - sparse enough to feel like a deliberate surprise. Spanning 38 units on the value axis, the palette achieves the balance between tonal flatness and fragmentation. This is palette 4 of Charles Cottet's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
