Alphonse Legros Palette 2

Palette Analysis

Values in Alphonse Legros rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Cool tones set the register here - the blues and greens easily outweigh any warm accents. Saturation is measured and controlled, giving the palette presence without visual aggression. The most saturated colour, #D6C191, is reserved to 3.0% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. The value range spans 55 units across the palette, providing the full gamut from deep shadow to near-white and ensuring clear tonal hierarchy. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively. This is palette 2 of Alphonse Legros's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
