Lajos Tihanyi Palette 5

Palette Analysis

The value structure of Lajos Tihanyi is mid-key: quiet, controlled, and cohesive. Lajos Tihanyi builds on cool foundations: the palette favours the blue-cyan-green arc. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. 35.0% of the palette belongs to #07352D, a concentration that makes it the unmistakable visual centre. The highest-chroma note - #945147 - appears at just 5.4%, deployed as a precision accent against the quieter ground. Value range is moderate at 52 units - enough contrast for legibility, not so much as to fragment the tonal unity. 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 5 of Lajos Tihanyi's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
