Mid-key values give Joseph Desire Court its characteristic quietness - nothing blazes, nothing disappears. Heat pervades this palette; warm chromatic identities outweigh cool ones at almost every weight. Chroma hovers near zero; colour declares itself through subtle shifts in hue rather than outright saturation. #8B5829 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (2.5%). The full value range is 68 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. These proportions encode Joseph Desire Court's instinctive sense of how much of each quality the eye can hold.
