Fauvism works in the upper reaches of the value scale, creating an atmosphere of brightness and expansiveness. Yellow, ochre, sienna: warm hues deployed as the palette's primary energy. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. #AB6B4E functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (4.3%). At 62 units of value range, the palette has the tonal breadth to sustain complex spatial readings.
