Palette Analysis

Values in Edouard Cortes rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Yellow, ochre, sienna: warm hues that Edouard Cortes deploys as the palette's primary energy. All colours lean toward grey, building depth through value rather than colour punch. The highest-chroma note - #A6451B - appears at just 1.3%, deployed as a precision accent against the quieter ground. 52 units of value spread create a palette that is varied but unified - contrast in the service of harmony. This is palette 1 of Edouard Cortes's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
