Jean Metzinger Palette 6

Tawny Warm orange-brown - a traditional term for the color of tanned leather or lion fur.
Palette Analysis
Jean Metzinger sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. Cool tones set the register here - the blues and greens easily outweigh any warm accents. Chroma hovers near zero; colour declares itself through subtle shifts in hue rather than outright saturation. The most saturated colour, #D6B260, is reserved to 5.9% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. 53 units of value spread create a palette that is varied but unified - contrast in the service of harmony. High luminosity and cool temperature suggest the plein-air condition: unfiltered daylight and open sky. This is palette 6 of Jean Metzinger's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
