Nicolas Froment sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. The palette achieves thermal balance - reds and blues, ochres and greens, each holding the other in check. The absence of saturated colour is itself an expressive choice: this is a palette of restraint and atmosphere. #A18348 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (9.1%). At 47 units across the value scale, the palette keeps contrast readable without letting it dominate. Nicolas Froment's palette 2 carries its own internal logic while remaining in conversation with the artist's broader colour intelligence.
