Ferdinand Hodler sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. Cool hues prevail: blues, greens, and greys anchor the palette's emotional temperature. Muted throughout, the palette achieves its effects through value and temperature rather than chromatic force. The highest-chroma note - #A6775B - appears at just 7.1%, deployed as a precision accent against the quieter ground. The full value range is 58 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. High luminosity and cool temperature suggest the plein-air condition: unfiltered daylight and open sky. These proportions encode Ferdinand Hodler's instinctive sense of how much of each quality the eye can hold.
