J. C. Leyendecker 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. All colours lean toward grey, building depth through value rather than colour punch. #B65337 delivers the chromatic peak at only 9.5% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. The full value range is 69 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. The palette is recognisably J. C. Leyendecker's own: particular in its temperature, chroma, and the economy of its brightest note.
