Palette Analysis

Constant Troyon occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. Cool hues prevail: blues, greens, and greys anchor the palette's emotional temperature. Chroma hovers near zero; colour declares itself through subtle shifts in hue rather than outright saturation. The most saturated colour, #A38441, is reserved to 1.9% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. A value spread of 66 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light. The mid-to-high key, cool bias, and moderate chroma point to outdoor observation - sky and diffused daylight as the dominant light source. In the context of Constant Troyon's full range of palettes, group 4 represents one movement in an ongoing chromatic dialogue.
