Palette Analysis
Gustave Caillebotte keeps values measured and balanced, a hallmark of tonal restraint. Warm hues command this palette; Gustave Caillebotte favours the reds, oranges, and yellows of firelight and earth. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. #D8CCB4 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (5.3%). The full value range is 61 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. Gustave Caillebotte's palette 12 carries its own internal logic while remaining in conversation with the artist's broader colour intelligence.
