Values in Philippe de Champaigne rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Heat pervades this palette; warm chromatic identities outweigh cool ones at almost every weight. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. #9E5838 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (8.5%). At 44 units across the value scale, the palette keeps contrast readable without letting it dominate. This is palette 8 of Philippe de Champaigne's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
