Palette Analysis
The value structure of François Lemoyne is mid-key: quiet, controlled, and cohesive. The dominant temperature is warm, with earth tones and fire-hues setting the emotional key. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. The most saturated colour, #8F642D, is reserved to 4.6% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. Value range is moderate at 52 units - enough contrast for legibility, not so much as to fragment the tonal unity. This is palette 6 of François Lemoyne's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
