Palette Analysis
Values in Honore Daumier rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Cool hues prevail: blues, greens, and greys anchor the palette's emotional temperature. Chroma hovers near zero; colour declares itself through subtle shifts in hue rather than outright saturation. The most saturated colour, #B0955A, is reserved to 2.6% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. 72 units of value range underpin the palette's structural clarity: the eye always knows where light falls. High luminosity and cool temperature suggest the plein-air condition: unfiltered daylight and open sky. This is palette 2 of Honore Daumier's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
