Palette Analysis

Mid-key values give Paul Signac its characteristic quietness - nothing blazes, nothing disappears. The palette achieves thermal balance - reds and blues, ochres and greens, each holding the other in check. All colours lean toward grey, building depth through value rather than colour punch. #8D6D3A functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (4.8%). 46 units of value spread create a palette that is varied but unified - contrast in the service of harmony. In the context of Paul Signac's full range of palettes, group 9 represents one movement in an ongoing chromatic dialogue.
