Fauvism is high-key - luminous, open, and weighted toward light. Built on cool foundations: the palette favours the blue-cyan-green arc. Muted throughout, the palette achieves its effects through value and temperature rather than chromatic force. #923B2D delivers the chromatic peak at only 2.8% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. The palette spans 53 value units: a measured range that delivers coherence over drama. The mid-to-high key, cool bias, and moderate chroma point to outdoor observation - sky and diffused daylight as the dominant light source.
