Fauvism sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. The palette orchestrates warmth above all else - reds, ambers, and siennas take the lead. Chroma hovers near zero; colour declares itself through subtle shifts in hue rather than outright saturation. The highest-chroma note - #B7781F - appears at just 3.2%, deployed as a precision accent against the quieter ground. A value spread of 55 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light.
