Palette Analysis

Post-Impressionism keeps values measured and balanced, a hallmark of tonal restraint. Warmth dominates - the palette leans heavily on the yellow-orange-red arc of the colour wheel. Chroma is moderate: colours carry enough saturation to be read as colour, but the palette stops well short of garish intensity. The highest-chroma note - #D14C2C - appears at just 9.0%, deployed as a precision accent against the quieter ground. At 52 units across the value scale, the palette keeps contrast readable without letting it dominate.
