Palette Analysis
Jean-Pierre Franque keeps values measured and balanced, a hallmark of tonal restraint. The palette achieves thermal balance - reds and blues, ochres and greens, each holding the other in check. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. #B8975E delivers the chromatic peak at only 5.4% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. At 66 units of value range, the palette has the tonal breadth to sustain complex spatial readings. The palette is recognisably Jean-Pierre Franque's own: particular in its temperature, chroma, and the economy of its brightest note.
