Palette Analysis
Maurice Quentin de La Tour occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. Yellow, ochre, sienna: warm hues that Maurice Quentin de La Tour deploys as the palette's primary energy. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. The saturated accent, #271C2D, registers at 4.9% - sparse enough to feel like a deliberate surprise. From deepest dark to palest light, the palette traverses 56 units of the value scale - a span that creates natural depth. Palette 8 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Maurice Quentin de La Tour's complete body of work advances.
