Cuno Amiet sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. Neither warm nor cool has the upper hand here; the equilibrium between the two generates the palette's visual energy. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. The most saturated colour, #DC423C, is reserved to 1.1% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. The value range of 44 units sits in the comfortable middle: enough depth, enough light, neither extreme. The palette is a signature: Cuno Amiet's particular sense of value, warmth, and colour weight made legible.
