Jean-Adrien Guignet sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. The palette achieves thermal balance - reds and blues, ochres and greens, each holding the other in check. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. #A0602D delivers the chromatic peak at only 6.7% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. Spanning 54 units on the value axis, the palette achieves the balance between tonal flatness and fragmentation. These proportions encode Jean-Adrien Guignet's instinctive sense of how much of each quality the eye can hold.
