Pierre-Jacques Pelletier is high in key: pale, luminous, and filled with optical air. Pierre-Jacques Pelletier builds on cool foundations: the palette favours the blue-cyan-green arc. All colours lean toward grey, building depth through value rather than colour punch. #A49A68 delivers the chromatic peak at only 2.6% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. The palette spans 43 value units: a measured range that delivers coherence over drama. High luminosity and cool temperature suggest the plein-air condition: unfiltered daylight and open sky. This is palette 1 of Pierre-Jacques Pelletier's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
