Mid-key values give Fauvism its characteristic quietness - nothing blazes, nothing disappears. The palette orchestrates warmth above all else - reds, ambers, and siennas take the lead. Colours are neither washed out nor blazing; they occupy the productive middle ground of the chroma scale. Only 8.7% is devoted to #E2BA77, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. The full value range is 56 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form.
