Palette Analysis

Louis Janmot sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. Warm and cool tones are held in careful balance - neither family dominates, creating tension and resolution simultaneously. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. #764726 delivers the chromatic peak at only 10.1% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. A value spread of 72 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light. In the context of Louis Janmot's full range of palettes, group 3 represents one movement in an ongoing chromatic dialogue.
