Palette Analysis
Nicolas Tournier occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. The dominant temperature is warm, with earth tones and fire-hues setting the emotional key. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. #A24F30 delivers the chromatic peak at only 2.6% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. The value range spans 70 units across the palette, providing the full gamut from deep shadow to near-white and ensuring clear tonal hierarchy. The palette is recognisably Nicolas Tournier's own: particular in its temperature, chroma, and the economy of its brightest note.
