Léo Gausson occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. The dominant temperature is warm, with earth tones and fire-hues setting the emotional key. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. #816330 delivers the chromatic peak at only 7.3% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. 53 units of value spread create a palette that is varied but unified - contrast in the service of harmony. In the context of Léo Gausson's full range of palettes, group 8 represents one movement in an ongoing chromatic dialogue.
