Palette Analysis

Michel Dorigny occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. Michel Dorigny tilts toward cool - blues and silver-greys carry the structural weight. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. #34538B functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (8.6%). The palette spans 46 value units: a measured range that delivers coherence over drama. The mid-to-high key, cool bias, and moderate chroma point to outdoor observation - sky and diffused daylight as the dominant light source. This is palette 1 of Michel Dorigny's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
