Fauvism occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. Cool tones set the register here - the blues and greens easily outweigh any warm accents. Saturation is deliberately withheld - the beauty here lies in the near-monochromatic gradations rather than colour difference. The highest-chroma note - #986259 - appears at just 9.6%, deployed as a precision accent against the quieter ground. 54 units of value spread create a palette that is varied but unified - contrast in the service of harmony. High luminosity and cool temperature suggest the plein-air condition: unfiltered daylight and open sky.
