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 tones are held in careful balance - neither family dominates, creating tension and resolution simultaneously. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. The most saturated colour, #70301F, is reserved to 7.5% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. The value range spans 59 units across the palette, providing the full gamut from deep shadow to near-white and ensuring clear tonal hierarchy. The palette is a signature: Jean-Baptiste Regnault's particular sense of value, warmth, and colour weight made legible.
