Jean Alexandru Steriadi is high in key: pale, luminous, and filled with optical air. A distinctly cool atmosphere runs through this palette: sky, water, and mist given colour form. Muted throughout, the palette achieves its effects through value and temperature rather than chromatic force. A single dominant - #C9DAD9 at 29.8% - sets the character of the whole composition. #FAB67D delivers the chromatic peak at only 1.7% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. Only 23 units separate the lightest and darkest tones - a narrow band that enforces tonal cohesion. 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 1 of Jean Alexandru Steriadi's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
