Émile Friant distributes its values across the middle register, creating harmony without high contrast. The dominant temperature is warm, with earth tones and fire-hues setting the emotional key. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. The saturated accent, #852D1D, registers at 3.4% - sparse enough to feel like a deliberate surprise. 59 units of value range underpin the palette's structural clarity: the eye always knows where light falls. Palette 5 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Émile Friant's complete body of work advances.
