Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux Palette 2

Palette Analysis

Values in Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux builds on cool foundations: the palette favours the blue-cyan-green arc. Muted throughout, the palette achieves its effects through value and temperature rather than chromatic force. At 2.5%, #AE8F42 carries the palette's sharpest chromatic charge: an accent that earns its place precisely because it is withheld. 53 units of value spread create a palette that is varied but unified - contrast in the service of harmony. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively. Palette 2 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux's complete body of work advances.
