Palette Analysis

Gustave Loiseau is strongly light-biased - shadow is suggested rather than declared. Temperature is cool-dominant, with blue and green families claiming the largest areas. The absence of saturated colour is itself an expressive choice: this is a palette of restraint and atmosphere. #B4A285 delivers the chromatic peak at only 9.8% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. At 35 units across the value scale, the palette keeps contrast readable without letting it dominate. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively. This is palette 4 of Gustave Loiseau's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
