Palette Analysis
Values in Jean Delville rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. The palette achieves thermal balance - reds and blues, ochres and greens, each holding the other in check. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. The highest-chroma note - #B7AC92 - appears at just 9.4%, deployed as a precision accent against the quieter ground. 48 units of value spread create a palette that is varied but unified - contrast in the service of harmony. Palette 3 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Jean Delville's complete body of work advances.
