Palette Analysis

Joseph Ducreux sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. Yellow, ochre, sienna: warm hues that Joseph Ducreux deploys as the palette's primary energy. All colours lean toward grey, building depth through value rather than colour punch. #AC9380 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (6.7%). The full value range is 59 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. Palette 3 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Joseph Ducreux's complete body of work advances.
