Fauvism Palette 13
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
Fauvism keeps values measured and balanced, a hallmark of tonal restraint. The palette tilts toward cool - blues and silver-greys carry the structural weight. Muted throughout, the palette achieves its effects through value and temperature rather than chromatic force. Only 5.6% is devoted to #8F5E4D, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. At 50 units across the value scale, the palette keeps contrast readable without letting it dominate. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively.
