The value structure of David Bailly is mid-key: quiet, controlled, and cohesive. The palette achieves thermal balance - reds and blues, ochres and greens, each holding the other in check. Saturation is deliberately withheld - the beauty here lies in the near-monochromatic gradations rather than colour difference. At 5.0%, #57351A carries the palette's sharpest chromatic charge: an accent that earns its place precisely because it is withheld. At 62 units of value range, the palette has the tonal breadth to sustain complex spatial readings. These proportions encode David Bailly's instinctive sense of how much of each quality the eye can hold.
