The value structure of Gustave Courbet is mid-key: quiet, controlled, and cohesive. Cool tones set the register here - the blues and greens easily outweigh any warm accents. Chroma hovers near zero; colour declares itself through subtle shifts in hue rather than outright saturation. #888144 delivers the chromatic peak at only 4.5% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. 66 units of value range underpin the palette's structural clarity: the eye always knows where light falls. High luminosity and cool temperature suggest the plein-air condition: unfiltered daylight and open sky. This is palette 12 of Gustave Courbet's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
