Impressionism occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. Heat pervades this palette; warm chromatic identities outweigh cool ones at almost every weight. Mid-saturation across the board: the palette has colour character without chromatic excess. The most saturated colour, #983B20, is reserved to 12.8% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. Value range is moderate at 42 units - enough contrast for legibility, not so much as to fragment the tonal unity.
