Gustave de Smet distributes its values across the middle register, creating harmony without high contrast. Gustave de Smet keeps warm and cool in parity, a balance that lends the work a perceptual shimmer. Chroma hovers near zero; colour declares itself through subtle shifts in hue rather than outright saturation. Only 10.8% is devoted to #605338, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. The full value range is 60 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. This is palette 7 of Gustave de Smet's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
