Palette Analysis

Paul Trouillebert keeps values measured and balanced, a hallmark of tonal restraint. Yellow, ochre, sienna: warm hues that Paul Trouillebert deploys as the palette's primary energy. Mid-range chroma keeps the palette grounded - colourful but not strident. #2B5983 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (7.3%). The value range spans 66 units across the palette, providing the full gamut from deep shadow to near-white and ensuring clear tonal hierarchy. Palette 5 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Paul Trouillebert's complete body of work advances.
