Mid-key values give Joseph Bail its characteristic quietness - nothing blazes, nothing disappears. Warm and cool tones are held in careful balance - neither family dominates, creating tension and resolution simultaneously. Saturation is deliberately withheld - the beauty here lies in the near-monochromatic gradations rather than colour difference. The most saturated colour, #AD4F32, is reserved to 5.8% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. At 79 units of value range, the palette has the tonal breadth to sustain complex spatial readings. This is palette 2 of Joseph Bail's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
