The value structure of François Gérard is mid-key: quiet, controlled, and cohesive. François Gérard tilts toward cool - blues and silver-greys carry the structural weight. Saturation is measured and controlled, giving the palette presence without visual aggression. #F7FDF4 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (2.5%). 75 units of value range underpin the palette's structural clarity: the eye always knows where light falls. High luminosity and cool temperature suggest the plein-air condition: unfiltered daylight and open sky. Palette 1 sits within the larger chromatic argument that François Gérard's complete body of work advances.
