Fauvism is high-key - luminous, open, and weighted toward light. Warm and cool tones are held in careful balance - neither family dominates, creating tension and resolution simultaneously. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. The most saturated colour, #CCB980, is reserved to 7.6% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. Spanning 44 units on the value axis, the palette achieves the balance between tonal flatness and fragmentation.
