Charles Maurin Palette 2

Palette Analysis

Charles Maurin 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. Mid-saturation across the board: the palette has colour character without chromatic excess. #8B653D functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (9.0%). The value range spans 66 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. Palette 2 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Charles Maurin's complete body of work advances.
