Impressionism distributes its values across the middle register, creating harmony without high contrast. The palette orchestrates warmth above all else - reds, ambers, and siennas take the lead. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. #76472B functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (8.1%). 56 units of value range underpin the palette's structural clarity: the eye always knows where light falls.
