Horace Pippin Palette 9

Palette Analysis

Values in Horace Pippin rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Blues and teal-greys govern the palette, lending it an aquatic or atmospheric quality. Chroma hovers near zero; colour declares itself through subtle shifts in hue rather than outright saturation. #674A38 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (5.6%). From deepest dark to palest light, the palette traverses 61 units of the value scale - a span that creates natural depth. 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 9 of Horace Pippin's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
