Values in Ferdinand du Puigaudeau rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Warm hues command this palette; Ferdinand du Puigaudeau favours the reds, oranges, and yellows of firelight and earth. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. The highest-chroma note - #CBC4AC - appears at just 7.5%, deployed as a precision accent against the quieter ground. Value range is moderate at 54 units - enough contrast for legibility, not so much as to fragment the tonal unity. Taken together, these qualities constitute Ferdinand du Puigaudeau's chromatic voice - distinctive enough to be read across an entire body of work.
