Values in Louis Buvelot rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Louis Buvelot keeps warm and cool in parity, a balance that lends the work a perceptual shimmer. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. The saturated accent, #8B6F46, registers at 7.5% - sparse enough to feel like a deliberate surprise. At 60 units of value range, the palette has the tonal breadth to sustain complex spatial readings. The palette is recognisably Louis Buvelot's own: particular in its temperature, chroma, and the economy of its brightest note.
