Mid-key values give Louis Gauffier its characteristic quietness - nothing blazes, nothing disappears. Louis Gauffier orchestrates warmth above all else - reds, ambers, and siennas take the lead. All colours lean toward grey, building depth through value rather than colour punch. #947857 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (6.0%). 49 units of value spread create a palette that is varied but unified - contrast in the service of harmony. This is palette 3 of Louis Gauffier's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
