Frederic Soulacroix is high-key - luminous, open, and weighted toward light. Warm and cool tones are held in careful balance - neither family dominates, creating tension and resolution simultaneously. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. The most saturated colour, #B78D8D, is reserved to 8.3% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. From deepest dark to palest light, the palette traverses 57 units of the value scale - a span that creates natural depth. Palette 2 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Frederic Soulacroix's complete body of work advances.
