The high-key values of Clarence Gagnon give it an effulgent, almost bleached quality. Heat pervades this palette; warm chromatic identities outweigh cool ones at almost every weight. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. #F1EBE4 at 45.0% of the palette: an overwhelming presence that pulls all other colours into its gravitational field. #BF493B functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (2.3%). At 73 units of value range, the palette has the tonal breadth to sustain complex spatial readings. Clarence Gagnon's palette 12 carries its own internal logic while remaining in conversation with the artist's broader colour intelligence.
