Francis Picabia distributes its values across the middle register, creating harmony without high contrast. Francis Picabia builds on cool foundations: the palette favours the blue-cyan-green arc. Saturation is deliberately withheld - the beauty here lies in the near-monochromatic gradations rather than colour difference. A single dominant - #1B1E24 at 34.9% - sets the character of the whole composition. #CDA35A functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (1.5%). The full value range is 68 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. High luminosity and cool temperature suggest the plein-air condition: unfiltered daylight and open sky. In the context of Francis Picabia's full range of palettes, group 7 represents one movement in an ongoing chromatic dialogue.
