Maurice Bompard Palette 3
Muted Parchment
Muted Deliberately desaturated - chroma pulled toward gray, the restraint of tonal painting.
Parchment Aged warm neutral - the color of old manuscript parchment, tan and slightly yellowed.
Palette Analysis
Values in Maurice Bompard rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Warmth dominates - the palette of Maurice Bompard leans heavily on the yellow-orange-red arc of the colour wheel. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. Only 5.9% is devoted to #9B795F, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. The full value range is 59 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. This is palette 3 of Maurice Bompard's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
