Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. Only 6.0% is devoted to #482E18, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. The palette spans 53 value units: a measured range that delivers coherence over drama. These proportions encode Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux's instinctive sense of how much of each quality the eye can hold.
