Jacques Stella sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. Warm hues command this palette; Jacques Stella favours the reds, oranges, and yellows of firelight and earth. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. Only 8.1% is devoted to #D3AB76, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. From deepest dark to palest light, the palette traverses 75 units of the value scale - a span that creates natural depth. These proportions encode Jacques Stella's instinctive sense of how much of each quality the eye can hold.
