Mid-key values give Léon Bazile Perrault its characteristic quietness - nothing blazes, nothing disappears. Temperature is balanced: the palette pits warm earth against cool sky without declaring a winner. Muted throughout, the palette achieves its effects through value and temperature rather than chromatic force. The most saturated colour, #CFB78A, is reserved to 11.5% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. A value spread of 68 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light. These proportions encode Léon Bazile Perrault's instinctive sense of how much of each quality the eye can hold.
