English term or phrase: In the register of intermediate tones
In a roundabout way, then, we are being shown that the material, serious side of life is no less important than the testimonials to professional competence. The lighter side should get its due, but so should solidity and reliability. … Affection and reticence maintain their balance. We are shown that the theatricality of the period was not without its pauses for reflextion, its chill-out zones. In the register of intermediate tones, one would like also to find varieties of truth.

Explanation:
- "Register" is generally defined as 記録or even 現れる (as in a smile registered on his face).

I believe that this is about ”one wanting to find varieties of truth in the intermediate colors that are registered (or depicted) on the canvas.”

中間色でまとめた色調の中に


Explanation:
register には「音域」という意味もあるようです。ここのテーマは美術ですが、tone(色調)ということばには「音」の意味もあるので、一種のシャレで音楽の用語を使ってみたのではないでしょうか。
特定の音域に音を限定した曲があるように、この絵では特定の色調(中間色)の範囲に色使いが限定されているというような意味と推測しました。

agree  HappySmile: 実は仏語の registre には「(作品などの)調子、色合い、文体」といった意味があります。勿論原文が仏語と関係しているかは分かりませんが・・・。

  -> ありがとうございます。そうすると特に音楽と結びつける必要はないのかもしれませんね。
