Palette Analysis
James Tissot occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. James Tissot orchestrates warmth above all else - reds, ambers, and siennas take the lead. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. The most saturated colour, #AA8D65, is reserved to 2.6% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. At 43 units across the value scale, the palette keeps contrast readable without letting it dominate. This is palette 11 of James Tissot's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
