Light floods Victor Hugo; the palette keeps values pale and airy across its range. Yellow, ochre, sienna: warm hues that Victor Hugo deploys as the palette's primary energy. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. #F2EDE8 at 26.7% of the palette: an overwhelming presence that pulls all other colours into its gravitational field. #A88C58 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (6.0%). 80 units of value range underpin the palette's structural clarity: the eye always knows where light falls. In the context of Victor Hugo's full range of palettes, group 5 represents one movement in an ongoing chromatic dialogue.
