Tachisme sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. The palette balances warm and cool with remarkable evenness, giving the composition its characteristic vibrancy. Saturation is deliberately withheld - the beauty here lies in the near-monochromatic gradations rather than colour difference. #7C5B51 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (7.2%). A value spread of 66 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light.
