Edouard Riou Palette 3
Muted Vellum
Muted Deliberately desaturated - chroma pulled toward gray, the restraint of tonal painting.
Vellum Smooth pale tan - the color of prepared calf-skin vellum, warmer than parchment.
Palette Analysis
Edouard Riou sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. Edouard Riou orchestrates warmth above all else - reds, ambers, and siennas take the lead. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. At 4.5%, #E2D8CB carries the palette's sharpest chromatic charge: an accent that earns its place precisely because it is withheld. The value range spans 64 units across the palette, providing the full gamut from deep shadow to near-white and ensuring clear tonal hierarchy. This is palette 3 of Edouard Riou's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
