Values in Louis Buvelot rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Yellow, ochre, sienna: warm hues that Louis Buvelot deploys as the palette's primary energy. The absence of saturated colour is itself an expressive choice: this is a palette of restraint and atmosphere. The saturated accent, #876D46, registers at 11.9% - sparse enough to feel like a deliberate surprise. At 55 units of value range, the palette has the tonal breadth to sustain complex spatial readings. This is palette 1 of Louis Buvelot's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
