Values in Post-Impressionism rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Warm and cool are kept in productive tension, creating the kind of chromatic harmony that sustains the eye. Saturation is deliberately withheld - the beauty here lies in the near-monochromatic gradations rather than colour difference. #C1A142 delivers the chromatic peak at only 4.8% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. The value range of 51 units sits in the comfortable middle: enough depth, enough light, neither extreme.
