Palette Analysis
The value structure of Honore Daumier is mid-key: quiet, controlled, and cohesive. Blues and teal-greys govern the palette, lending it an aquatic or atmospheric quality. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. #16101E at 19.4% is both the most chromatic and one of the largest colours in the palette - chroma as mass rather than as highlight. The full value range is 73 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively. In the context of Honore Daumier's full range of palettes, group 9 represents one movement in an ongoing chromatic dialogue.
