Jean-François de Troy sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. Warm and cool tones are held in careful balance - neither family dominates, creating tension and resolution simultaneously. Muted throughout, the palette achieves its effects through value and temperature rather than chromatic force. Only 5.4% is devoted to #AE724C, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. At 76 units of value range, the palette has the tonal breadth to sustain complex spatial readings. Palette 2 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Jean-François de Troy's complete body of work advances.
