Juan Gris sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. The palette achieves thermal balance - reds and blues, ochres and greens, each holding the other in check. Saturation is deliberately withheld - the beauty here lies in the near-monochromatic gradations rather than colour difference. The saturated accent, #884930, registers at 9.6% - sparse enough to feel like a deliberate surprise. 57 units of value range underpin the palette's structural clarity: the eye always knows where light falls. This is palette 15 of Juan Gris's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
