Carl Larsson Palette 9

Vermillion Brilliant red-orange - the classic mercury sulfide pigment, vivid and warm.
Palette Analysis
Carl Larsson keeps values measured and balanced, a hallmark of tonal restraint. The dominant temperature is warm, with earth tones and fire-hues setting the emotional key. Colours are neither washed out nor blazing; they occupy the productive middle ground of the chroma scale. The highest-chroma note - #C64D23 - appears at just 4.0%, deployed as a precision accent against the quieter ground. 53 units of value spread create a palette that is varied but unified - contrast in the service of harmony. Palette 9 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Carl Larsson's complete body of work advances.
