Charles Gleyre Palette 2

Palette Analysis

Charles Gleyre sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. Cool hues prevail: blues, greens, and greys anchor the palette's emotional temperature. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. 31.4% of the palette belongs to #7D8188, a concentration that makes it the unmistakable visual centre. At 3.2%, #80ABCF carries the palette's sharpest chromatic charge: an accent that earns its place precisely because it is withheld. From deepest dark to palest light, the palette traverses 77 units of the value scale - a span that creates natural depth. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively. Palette 2 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Charles Gleyre's complete body of work advances.
