Jean Alexandru Steriadi Palette 2

Palette Analysis

Light floods Jean Alexandru Steriadi; the palette keeps values pale and airy across its range. Temperature is cool-dominant, with blue and green families claiming the largest areas. Muted throughout, the palette achieves its effects through value and temperature rather than chromatic force. The dominant colour, #ECE8DB, takes 34.2% of the total area, establishing the overall mood before any other hue is introduced. #CAAA8F functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (7.2%). The palette spans 39 value units: a measured range that delivers coherence over drama. 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 Jean Alexandru Steriadi's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
