Georges Lacombe is high in key: pale, luminous, and filled with optical air. Warm hues command this palette; Georges Lacombe favours the reds, oranges, and yellows of firelight and earth. Chroma is moderate: colours carry enough saturation to be read as colour, but the palette stops well short of garish intensity. The most saturated colour, #D17C59, is reserved to 5.1% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. From deepest dark to palest light, the palette traverses 57 units of the value scale - a span that creates natural depth. Palette 1 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Georges Lacombe's complete body of work advances.
