Palette Analysis
Values in Constantin Guys rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. The palette achieves thermal balance - reds and blues, ochres and greens, each holding the other in check. The absence of saturated colour is itself an expressive choice: this is a palette of restraint and atmosphere. #AF8D70 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (5.3%). 47 units of value spread create a palette that is varied but unified - contrast in the service of harmony. This is palette 3 of Constantin Guys's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
