Palette Analysis
Mid-key values give L. S. Lowry its characteristic quietness - nothing blazes, nothing disappears. Temperature is cool-dominant, with blue and green families claiming the largest areas. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. Only 3.1% is devoted to #8B7148, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. At 48 units across the value scale, the palette keeps contrast readable without letting it dominate. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively. Palette 2 sits within the larger chromatic argument that L. S. Lowry's complete body of work advances.
