Ramon Casas occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. Neither warm nor cool has the upper hand here; the equilibrium between the two generates the palette's visual energy. Saturation is deliberately withheld - the beauty here lies in the near-monochromatic gradations rather than colour difference. Only 8.5% is devoted to #B4A68C, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. A value spread of 57 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light. In the context of Ramon Casas's full range of palettes, group 2 represents one movement in an ongoing chromatic dialogue.
