Palette Analysis

Values in Cubism rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. A distinctly cool atmosphere runs through this palette: sky, water, and mist given colour form. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. The saturated accent, #70523A, registers at 6.7% - sparse enough to feel like a deliberate surprise. 63 units of value range underpin the palette's structural clarity: the eye always knows where light falls. High luminosity and cool temperature suggest the plein-air condition: unfiltered daylight and open sky.
