Values in Simon Vouet rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Warmth dominates - the palette of Simon Vouet leans heavily on the yellow-orange-red arc of the colour wheel. The absence of saturated colour is itself an expressive choice: this is a palette of restraint and atmosphere. The saturated accent, #D08A64, registers at 7.0% - sparse enough to feel like a deliberate surprise. A value spread of 60 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light. This is palette 1 of Simon Vouet's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
