Palette Analysis

Values in Claude Deruet rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Warm and cool are kept in productive tension, creating the kind of chromatic harmony that sustains the eye. Muted throughout, the palette achieves its effects through value and temperature rather than chromatic force. Only 9.5% is devoted to #6A543C, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. The full value range is 68 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. This is palette 3 of Claude Deruet's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
