Palette Analysis
Neo-Impressionism distributes its values across the middle register, creating harmony without high contrast. Warm and cool tones are held in careful balance - neither family dominates, creating tension and resolution simultaneously. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. The highest-chroma note - #524029 - appears at just 8.2%, deployed as a precision accent against the quieter ground. Spanning 51 units on the value axis, the palette achieves the balance between tonal flatness and fragmentation.
