Palette Analysis
Light floods James Tissot; the palette keeps values pale and airy across its range. Heat pervades this palette; warm chromatic identities outweigh cool ones at almost every weight. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. Only 7.3% is devoted to #AE936A, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. At 44 units across the value scale, the palette keeps contrast readable without letting it dominate. In the context of James Tissot's full range of palettes, group 3 represents one movement in an ongoing chromatic dialogue.
