Edouard Manet sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. The palette achieves thermal balance - reds and blues, ochres and greens, each holding the other in check. Muted throughout, the palette achieves its effects through value and temperature rather than chromatic force. #8E6331 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (5.4%). 65 units of value range underpin the palette's structural clarity: the eye always knows where light falls. In the context of Edouard Manet's full range of palettes, group 6 represents one movement in an ongoing chromatic dialogue.
