Jean Lecomte du Nouÿ Palette 2
Muted Apricot
Muted Deliberately desaturated - chroma pulled toward gray, the restraint of tonal painting.
Apricot Soft warm orange - peach-adjacent, the color of ripe stone fruit.
Palette Analysis
Jean Lecomte du Nouÿ occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. Heat pervades this palette; warm chromatic identities outweigh cool ones at almost every weight. Mid-saturation across the board: the palette has colour character without chromatic excess. #8F450E delivers the chromatic peak at only 3.9% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. At 64 units of value range, the palette has the tonal breadth to sustain complex spatial readings. This is palette 2 of Jean Lecomte du Nouÿ's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
