André Lhote Palette 1
Pale Parchment
Pale High-key and low-chroma - delicate, bleached, washed with light.
Parchment Aged warm neutral - the color of old manuscript parchment, tan and slightly yellowed.
Palette Analysis
Mid-key values give André Lhote its characteristic quietness - nothing blazes, nothing disappears. The palette achieves thermal balance - reds and blues, ochres and greens, each holding the other in check. Chroma hovers near zero; colour declares itself through subtle shifts in hue rather than outright saturation. The saturated accent, #44763E, registers at 2.4% - sparse enough to feel like a deliberate surprise. 42 units of value spread create a palette that is varied but unified - contrast in the service of harmony. This is palette 1 of André Lhote's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
