Lemon meringue (#F6EABE) is a very pale warm shade that appears across 18 master palettes in our corpus, most prominently in the work of Ivan Bilibin, Toyohara Chikanobu, and James Baker Pyne and the Romanticism tradition. Master painters paired it most often with Midnight blue (#191970), Raisin black (#242124), and Bistre (#3D2B1F). The combination forms an almost-white, sunlit chord, built on a split-complementary spread, spans a mixed temperature range, with a sharp light/dark contrast that lets the darker companions read as depth.
