Light floods Jean Metzinger; the palette keeps values pale and airy across its range. Blues and teal-greys govern the palette, lending it an aquatic or atmospheric quality. A restrained, mid-chroma palette: every hue is present and legible, but nothing shouts. #C03F31 delivers the chromatic peak at only 5.4% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. The palette spans 48 value units: a measured range that delivers coherence over drama. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively. In the context of Jean Metzinger's full range of palettes, group 2 represents one movement in an ongoing chromatic dialogue.
