Light floods Henri-Edmond Cross; the palette keeps values pale and airy across its range. The dominant temperature is warm, with earth tones and fire-hues setting the emotional key. Chroma is moderate: colours carry enough saturation to be read as colour, but the palette stops well short of garish intensity. #A3382D functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (8.0%). At 54 units across the value scale, the palette keeps contrast readable without letting it dominate. In the context of Henri-Edmond Cross's full range of palettes, group 6 represents one movement in an ongoing chromatic dialogue.
