Jacques-Louis David Palette 8
Shadowed Bister
Shadowed Low-key - values weighted toward shadow, the palette of dim interiors and overcast skies.
Bister Dark warm brown - a traditional ink and wash pigment made from wood soot.
Palette Analysis
Mid-key values give Jacques-Louis David its characteristic quietness - nothing blazes, nothing disappears. 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. Only 6.0% is devoted to #96663E, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. A value spread of 65 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light. In the context of Jacques-Louis David's full range of palettes, group 8 represents one movement in an ongoing chromatic dialogue.
