Victor Hugo keeps values measured and balanced, a hallmark of tonal restraint. The palette achieves thermal balance - reds and blues, ochres and greens, each holding the other in check. Chroma hovers near zero; colour declares itself through subtle shifts in hue rather than outright saturation. The highest-chroma note - #79534F - appears at just 8.2%, deployed as a precision accent against the quieter ground. The full value range is 73 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. Palette 4 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Victor Hugo's complete body of work advances.
