Values in Impressionism rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Warm hues command this palette; it favours the reds, oranges, and yellows of firelight and earth. The absence of saturated colour is itself an expressive choice: this is a palette of restraint and atmosphere. The most saturated colour, #A4764A, is reserved to 6.0% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. 65 units of value range underpin the palette's structural clarity: the eye always knows where light falls.
