James Tissot sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. The dominant temperature is warm, with earth tones and fire-hues setting the emotional key. The absence of saturated colour is itself an expressive choice: this is a palette of restraint and atmosphere. The most saturated colour, #705A48, is reserved to 9.1% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. 50 units of value spread create a palette that is varied but unified - contrast in the service of harmony. In the context of James Tissot's full range of palettes, group 4 represents one movement in an ongoing chromatic dialogue.
