Charles Reiffel Palette 2

Palette Analysis

The high-key values of Charles Reiffel give it an effulgent, almost bleached quality. Temperature is cool-dominant, with blue and green families claiming the largest areas. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. #BDCDC4 claims 27.4% of the surface, functioning as the work's tonal foundation. #BBA87A delivers the chromatic peak at only 7.8% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. The value range spans 61 units across the palette, providing the full gamut from deep shadow to near-white and ensuring clear tonal hierarchy. The mid-to-high key, cool bias, and moderate chroma point to outdoor observation - sky and diffused daylight as the dominant light source. This is palette 2 of Charles Reiffel's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
