Mid-key values give Jean Leon Gerome Ferris its characteristic quietness - nothing blazes, nothing disappears. Blues and teal-greys govern the palette, lending it an aquatic or atmospheric quality. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. The most saturated colour, #684A2C, is reserved to 7.4% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. A value spread of 66 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively. This is palette 3 of Jean Leon Gerome Ferris's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
