Palette Analysis

Values in François Marot rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. François Marot tilts toward cool - blues and silver-greys carry the structural weight. All colours lean toward grey, building depth through value rather than colour punch. François Marot gives 29.0% of the composition to a single #0D0A06 - a decisive chromatic anchor. Only 6.4% is devoted to #42160A, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. A value spread of 83 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light. The mid-to-high key, cool bias, and moderate chroma point to outdoor observation - sky and diffused daylight as the dominant light source. In the context of François Marot's full range of palettes, group 3 represents one movement in an ongoing chromatic dialogue.
