Light floods Claude-Joseph Vernet; the palette keeps values pale and airy across its range. Claude-Joseph Vernet keeps warm and cool in parity, a balance that lends the work a perceptual shimmer. Chroma hovers near zero; colour declares itself through subtle shifts in hue rather than outright saturation. #A48655 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (6.9%). At 72 units of value range, the palette has the tonal breadth to sustain complex spatial readings. Palette 1 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Claude-Joseph Vernet's complete body of work advances.
