Palette Analysis
The value structure of Alfred Stevens is mid-key: quiet, controlled, and cohesive. Blues and teal-greys govern the palette, lending it an aquatic or atmospheric quality. Chroma hovers near zero; colour declares itself through subtle shifts in hue rather than outright saturation. The most saturated colour, #D4C6A8, is reserved to 2.4% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. The full value range is 61 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively. Palette 6 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Alfred Stevens's complete body of work advances.
