Paul Signac works in the upper reaches of the value scale, creating an atmosphere of brightness and expansiveness. Warm and cool are kept in productive tension, creating the kind of chromatic harmony that sustains the eye. Muted throughout, the palette achieves its effects through value and temperature rather than chromatic force. #6D6334 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (3.5%). At 55 units of value range, the palette has the tonal breadth to sustain complex spatial readings. Palette 5 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Paul Signac's complete body of work advances.
