Gustave Loiseau occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. Gustave Loiseau tilts toward cool - blues and silver-greys carry the structural weight. The absence of saturated colour is itself an expressive choice: this is a palette of restraint and atmosphere. #A78C63 delivers the chromatic peak at only 8.3% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. The palette spans 33 value units: a measured range that delivers coherence over drama. The mid-to-high key, cool bias, and moderate chroma point to outdoor observation - sky and diffused daylight as the dominant light source. This is palette 8 of Gustave Loiseau's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
