Mid-key values give Post-Impressionism its characteristic quietness - nothing blazes, nothing disappears. Cool tones set the register here - the blues and greens easily outweigh any warm accents. Muted throughout, the palette achieves its effects through value and temperature rather than chromatic force. At 10.3%, #705D45 carries the palette's sharpest chromatic charge: an accent that earns its place precisely because it is withheld. The full value range is 59 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively.
