Théodore Ralli occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. Warm hues command this palette; Théodore Ralli favours the reds, oranges, and yellows of firelight and earth. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. #9E744D delivers the chromatic peak at only 6.1% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. At 42 units across the value scale, the palette keeps contrast readable without letting it dominate. Théodore Ralli's palette 5 carries its own internal logic while remaining in conversation with the artist's broader colour intelligence.
