Bister Dark warm brown - a traditional ink and wash pigment made from wood soot.
Palette Analysis
Joseph-Marie Vien distributes its values across the middle register, creating harmony without high contrast. Warmth dominates - the palette of Joseph-Marie Vien leans heavily on the yellow-orange-red arc of the colour wheel. Saturation is deliberately withheld - the beauty here lies in the near-monochromatic gradations rather than colour difference. The most saturated colour, #AC7840, is reserved to 4.0% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. 52 units of value spread create a palette that is varied but unified - contrast in the service of harmony. This is palette 7 of Joseph-Marie Vien's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
