Palette Analysis

Mid-key values give Felix Schlesinger its characteristic quietness - nothing blazes, nothing disappears. Warmth dominates - the palette of Felix Schlesinger leans heavily on the yellow-orange-red arc of the colour wheel. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. #40281C functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (10.5%). A value spread of 62 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light. This is palette 7 of Felix Schlesinger's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
