Palette Analysis
The value structure of Paul-Albert Besnard is mid-key: quiet, controlled, and cohesive. Blues and teal-greys govern the palette, lending it an aquatic or atmospheric quality. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. #E3D6AF functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (9.7%). 52 units of value spread create a palette that is varied but unified - contrast in the service of harmony. 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 2 of Paul-Albert Besnard's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
