Palette Analysis

Expressionism distributes its values across the middle register, creating harmony without high contrast. Cool tones set the register here - the blues and greens easily outweigh any warm accents. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. The saturated accent, #9D5645, registers at 3.0% - sparse enough to feel like a deliberate surprise. Spanning 53 units on the value axis, the palette achieves the balance between tonal flatness and fragmentation. High luminosity and cool temperature suggest the plein-air condition: unfiltered daylight and open sky.
