Jean Baptiste Edouard Detaille works in the upper reaches of the value scale, creating an atmosphere of brightness and expansiveness. Jean Baptiste Edouard Detaille tilts toward cool - blues and silver-greys carry the structural weight. Mid-range chroma keeps the palette grounded - colourful but not strident. A single dominant - #EAD2A5 at 33.4% - sets the character of the whole composition. The most saturated colour, #F1E6D0, is reserved to 3.3% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. The value range of 54 units sits in the comfortable middle: enough depth, enough light, neither extreme. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively. Palette 1 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Jean Baptiste Edouard Detaille's complete body of work advances.
