Palette Analysis
Georges Papazoff is built on dark foundations, with values clustered toward shadow. Heat pervades this palette; warm chromatic identities outweigh cool ones at almost every weight. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. Only 11.7% is devoted to #502C1C, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. Value range is moderate at 40 units - enough contrast for legibility, not so much as to fragment the tonal unity. The combination of low values, muted chroma, and compressed range is the signature of the Tonalist mode - painting as atmosphere. This is the light Georges Papazoff preferred, made measurable.
