Palette Analysis
Michel Dorigny distributes its values across the middle register, creating harmony without high contrast. Warmth dominates - the palette of Michel Dorigny 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. #9A5C40 delivers the chromatic peak at only 6.7% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. A value spread of 59 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light. The palette is a signature: Michel Dorigny's particular sense of value, warmth, and colour weight made legible.
