Palette Analysis

Jean Dubuffet keeps values measured and balanced, a hallmark of tonal restraint. Temperature is cool-dominant, with blue and green families claiming the largest areas. Chroma hovers near zero; colour declares itself through subtle shifts in hue rather than outright saturation. The most saturated colour, #84633F, is reserved to 9.6% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. The full value range is 68 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. High luminosity and cool temperature suggest the plein-air condition: unfiltered daylight and open sky. This is palette 2 of Jean Dubuffet's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
