Gustave Dore sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. The dominant temperature is warm, with earth tones and fire-hues setting the emotional key. Mid-saturation across the board: the palette has colour character without chromatic excess. Gustave Dore gives 27.1% of the composition to a single #5B1E0B - a decisive chromatic anchor. #EEB035 delivers the chromatic peak at only 7.2% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. At 52 units across the value scale, the palette keeps contrast readable without letting it dominate. Palette 3 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Gustave Dore's complete body of work advances.
