Values in Louis Buvelot rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Neither warm nor cool has the upper hand here; the equilibrium between the two generates the palette's visual energy. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. #9B8746 delivers the chromatic peak at only 3.2% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. From deepest dark to palest light, the palette traverses 58 units of the value scale - a span that creates natural depth. This is palette 2 of Louis Buvelot's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
