Thomas Blanchet Palette 1

Palette Analysis

Thomas Blanchet sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. Temperature is cool-dominant, with blue and green families claiming the largest areas. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. The saturated accent, #4E3A31, registers at 12.6% - sparse enough to feel like a deliberate surprise. The palette spans 48 value units: a measured range that delivers coherence over drama. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively. Palette 1 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Thomas Blanchet's complete body of work advances.
