Felix Vallotton Palette 2

Palette Analysis

Felix Vallotton is high-key - luminous, open, and weighted toward light. Felix Vallotton builds on cool foundations: the palette favours the blue-cyan-green arc. Chroma is moderate: colours carry enough saturation to be read as colour, but the palette stops well short of garish intensity. #F8F993 claims 25.2% of the surface, functioning as the work's tonal foundation. Only 8.6% is devoted to #E0ECC6, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. A value spread of 73 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light. The mid-to-high key, cool bias, and moderate chroma point to outdoor observation - sky and diffused daylight as the dominant light source. This is palette 2 of Felix Vallotton's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
