Palette Analysis

Charles Giraud sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. Warm hues command this palette; Charles Giraud favours the reds, oranges, and yellows of firelight and earth. Chroma hovers near zero; colour declares itself through subtle shifts in hue rather than outright saturation. #706D87 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (7.5%). The value range of 50 units sits in the comfortable middle: enough depth, enough light, neither extreme. This is palette 3 of Charles Giraud's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
