Alfred Schouppé is high-key - luminous, open, and weighted toward light. Warm and cool are kept in productive tension, creating the kind of chromatic harmony that sustains the eye. The absence of saturated colour is itself an expressive choice: this is a palette of restraint and atmosphere. The most saturated colour, #9D8D6F, is reserved to 5.2% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. A value spread of 59 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light. Palette 1 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Alfred Schouppé's complete body of work advances.
