Values in Raoul Dufy rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Blues and teal-greys govern the palette, lending it an aquatic or atmospheric quality. Chroma is held at a comfortable level - distinct colours, but no single hue is allowed to overwhelm. Only 10.5% is devoted to #AAA44A, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. The value range of 45 units sits in the comfortable middle: enough depth, enough light, neither extreme. High luminosity and cool temperature suggest the plein-air condition: unfiltered daylight and open sky. Palette 12 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Raoul Dufy's complete body of work advances.
