Raoul Dufy Palette 7
Muted Vermillion
Muted Deliberately desaturated - chroma pulled toward gray, the restraint of tonal painting.
Vermillion Brilliant red-orange - the classic mercury sulfide pigment, vivid and warm.
Palette Analysis
Raoul Dufy occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. Raoul Dufy orchestrates warmth above all else - reds, ambers, and siennas take the lead. A restrained, mid-chroma palette: every hue is present and legible, but nothing shouts. The chromatic peak belongs to #D5AB8F, and at 6.2% it dominates, not decorates. A value spread of 70 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light. Raoul Dufy's palette 7 carries its own internal logic while remaining in conversation with the artist's broader colour intelligence.
