Palette Analysis
Mid-key values give Jean-Baptiste Pater its characteristic quietness - nothing blazes, nothing disappears. Temperature is cool-dominant, with blue and green families claiming the largest areas. All colours lean toward grey, building depth through value rather than colour punch. #6D6442 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (12.8%). Spanning 54 units on the value axis, the palette achieves the balance between tonal flatness and fragmentation. The mid-to-high key, cool bias, and moderate chroma point to outdoor observation - sky and diffused daylight as the dominant light source. This is palette 4 of Jean-Baptiste Pater's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
