Palette Analysis

Mid-key values give Paul Seignac its characteristic quietness - nothing blazes, nothing disappears. Paul Seignac tilts toward cool - blues and silver-greys carry the structural weight. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. #C4A15D functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (7.0%). The value range spans 59 units across the palette, providing the full gamut from deep shadow to near-white and ensuring clear tonal hierarchy. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively. This is palette 4 of Paul Seignac's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
