Palette Analysis
Jacques-Louis David is high in key: pale, luminous, and filled with optical air. Heat pervades this palette; warm chromatic identities outweigh cool ones at almost every weight. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. Jacques-Louis David gives 31.1% of the composition to a single #9B8E86 - a decisive chromatic anchor. At 3.6%, #72523A carries the palette's sharpest chromatic charge: an accent that earns its place precisely because it is withheld. At 55 units of value range, the palette has the tonal breadth to sustain complex spatial readings. In the context of Jacques-Louis David's full range of palettes, group 1 represents one movement in an ongoing chromatic dialogue.
