Palette Analysis
The value structure of Joseph Duplessis is mid-key: quiet, controlled, and cohesive. Cool hues prevail: blues, greens, and greys anchor the palette's emotional temperature. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. #CFB6A2 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (1.8%). 52 units of value spread create a palette that is varied but unified - contrast in the service of harmony. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively. This is palette 2 of Joseph Duplessis's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
