François Barraud Palette 1

Palette Analysis

François Barraud sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. François Barraud builds 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. #7D5339 delivers the chromatic peak at only 5.0% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. 76 units of value range underpin the palette's structural clarity: the eye always knows where light falls. The mid-to-high key, cool bias, and moderate chroma point to outdoor observation - sky and diffused daylight as the dominant light source. This is palette 1 of François Barraud's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
