Jacques Daret Palette 1

Palette Analysis

Jacques Daret keeps values measured and balanced, a hallmark of tonal restraint. Jacques Daret builds on cool foundations: the palette favours the blue-cyan-green arc. Chroma is held at a comfortable level - distinct colours, but no single hue is allowed to overwhelm. #843321 delivers the chromatic peak at only 6.1% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. The value range spans 73 units across the palette, providing the full gamut from deep shadow to near-white and ensuring clear tonal hierarchy. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively. This is palette 1 of Jacques Daret's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
