Edouard Manet sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. Heat pervades this palette; warm chromatic identities outweigh cool ones at almost every weight. Saturation is deliberately withheld - the beauty here lies in the near-monochromatic gradations rather than colour difference. The most saturated colour, #C6A97A, is reserved to 8.8% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. The value range spans 63 units across the palette, providing the full gamut from deep shadow to near-white and ensuring clear tonal hierarchy. The palette is recognisably Edouard Manet's own: particular in its temperature, chroma, and the economy of its brightest note.
