The high-key values of August Allebé give it an effulgent, almost bleached quality. Temperature reads distinctly warm: the reds and earth tones from August Allebé carry the compositional weight. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. #F6E7E0 claims 36.0% of the surface, functioning as the work's tonal foundation. Only 6.2% is devoted to #D7AB66, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. From deepest dark to palest light, the palette traverses 69 units of the value scale - a span that creates natural depth. This is palette 1 of August Allebé's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
