Jean Béraud occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. Jean Béraud balances warm and cool with remarkable evenness, giving the composition its characteristic vibrancy. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. At 4.9%, #44150A carries the palette's sharpest chromatic charge: an accent that earns its place precisely because it is withheld. The full value range is 62 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. These proportions encode Jean Béraud's instinctive sense of how much of each quality the eye can hold.
