Mid-key values give Joseph-Marie Vien its characteristic quietness - nothing blazes, nothing disappears. Joseph-Marie Vien orchestrates warmth above all else - reds, ambers, and siennas take the lead. Chroma is moderate: colours carry enough saturation to be read as colour, but the palette stops well short of garish intensity. The saturated accent, #F1D79E, registers at 6.3% - sparse enough to feel like a deliberate surprise. 66 units of value range underpin the palette's structural clarity: the eye always knows where light falls. Palette 2 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Joseph-Marie Vien's complete body of work advances.
