Ernest Hébert keeps values measured and balanced, a hallmark of tonal restraint. A distinctly cool atmosphere runs through this palette: sky, water, and mist given colour form. Mid-range chroma keeps the palette grounded - colourful but not strident. Only 10.2% is devoted to #7E5521, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. Spanning 54 units on the value axis, the palette achieves the balance between tonal flatness and fragmentation. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively. In the context of Ernest Hébert's full range of palettes, group 2 represents one movement in an ongoing chromatic dialogue.
