Values in Pointillism rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. A distinctly cool atmosphere runs through this palette: sky, water, and mist given colour form. Saturation is deliberately withheld - the beauty here lies in the near-monochromatic gradations rather than colour difference. At 4.6%, #3F3872 carries the palette's sharpest chromatic charge: an accent that earns its place precisely because it is withheld. 54 units of value spread create a palette that is varied but unified - contrast in the service of harmony. The mid-to-high key, cool bias, and moderate chroma point to outdoor observation - sky and diffused daylight as the dominant light source.
