Values in Francois Flameng tilt decisively toward white, giving the palette its luminous character. Cool hues prevail: blues, greens, and greys anchor the palette's emotional temperature. Chroma hovers near zero; colour declares itself through subtle shifts in hue rather than outright saturation. The saturated accent, #8B4836, registers at 3.0% - sparse enough to feel like a deliberate surprise. From deepest dark to palest light, the palette traverses 73 units of the value scale - a span that creates natural depth. 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 Francois Flameng's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
