Impressionism occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. Warm and cool are kept in productive tension, creating the kind of chromatic harmony that sustains the eye. Muted throughout, the palette achieves its effects through value and temperature rather than chromatic force. #7D4E34 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (9.0%). At 59 units of value range, the palette has the tonal breadth to sustain complex spatial readings.
