Palette Analysis

Values in Francois Watteau rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Warm hues command this palette; Francois Watteau favours the reds, oranges, and yellows of firelight and earth. Muted throughout, the palette achieves its effects through value and temperature rather than chromatic force. The chromatic peak belongs to #4C2A0F, and at 5.0% it dominates, not decorates. From deepest dark to palest light, the palette traverses 56 units of the value scale - a span that creates natural depth. This is the light Francois Watteau preferred, made measurable.
