Light floods Henri-Edmond Cross; the palette keeps values pale and airy across its range. Cool tones set the register here - the blues and greens easily outweigh any warm accents. All colours lean toward grey, building depth through value rather than colour punch. Only 3.7% is devoted to #E9B253, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. 41 units of value spread create a palette that is varied but unified - contrast in the service of harmony. The mid-to-high key, cool bias, and moderate chroma point to outdoor observation - sky and diffused daylight as the dominant light source. Palette 3 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Henri-Edmond Cross's complete body of work advances.
