Louis-Philippe Crépin occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. The dominant temperature is warm, with earth tones and fire-hues setting the emotional key. Muted throughout, the palette achieves its effects through value and temperature rather than chromatic force. #D36F4A functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (5.7%). 56 units of value range underpin the palette's structural clarity: the eye always knows where light falls. This is palette 5 of Louis-Philippe Crépin's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
