Palette Analysis
Jean-Baptiste Regnault occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. Warm and cool are kept in productive tension, creating the kind of chromatic harmony that sustains the eye. Chroma hovers near zero; colour declares itself through subtle shifts in hue rather than outright saturation. The most saturated colour, #AD8733, is reserved to 1.0% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. The value range spans 56 units across the palette, providing the full gamut from deep shadow to near-white and ensuring clear tonal hierarchy. This is palette 1 of Jean-Baptiste Regnault's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
