Arthur Lismer Palette 2

Palette Analysis

Values in Arthur Lismer rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Arthur Lismer tilts toward cool - blues and silver-greys carry the structural weight. All colours lean toward grey, building depth through value rather than colour punch. Only 4.0% is devoted to #116194, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. The value range spans 65 units across the palette, providing the full gamut from deep shadow to near-white and ensuring clear tonal hierarchy. The mid-to-high key, cool bias, and moderate chroma point to outdoor observation - sky and diffused daylight as the dominant light source. This is palette 2 of Arthur Lismer's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
