Values in Claude-Joseph Vernet rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. A distinctly cool atmosphere runs through this palette: sky, water, and mist given colour form. The absence of saturated colour is itself an expressive choice: this is a palette of restraint and atmosphere. Only 11.8% is devoted to #896D46, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. The full value range is 67 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively. Claude-Joseph Vernet arrived at this balance through long practice; the palette carries the weight of that experience.
