André Lhote Palette 2

Palette Analysis

André Lhote distributes its values across the middle register, creating harmony without high contrast. A distinctly cool atmosphere runs through this palette: sky, water, and mist given colour form. Chroma hovers near zero; colour declares itself through subtle shifts in hue rather than outright saturation. Only 9.0% is devoted to #C2A46F, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. Value range is moderate at 50 units - enough contrast for legibility, not so much as to fragment the tonal unity. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively. André Lhote's palette 2 carries its own internal logic while remaining in conversation with the artist's broader colour intelligence.
