Palette Analysis

Jean-Baptiste Pater sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. Jean-Baptiste Pater builds on cool foundations: the palette favours the blue-cyan-green arc. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. The saturated accent, #C4B47C, registers at 8.7% - sparse enough to feel like a deliberate surprise. 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. This is palette 1 of Jean-Baptiste Pater's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
