Jean Benner keeps values measured and balanced, a hallmark of tonal restraint. Cool hues prevail: blues, greens, and greys anchor the palette's emotional temperature. Muted throughout, the palette achieves its effects through value and temperature rather than chromatic force. #976B38 delivers the chromatic peak at only 4.2% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. A value spread of 66 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively. In the context of Jean Benner's full range of palettes, group 2 represents one movement in an ongoing chromatic dialogue.
