Lajos Tihanyi Palette 6
Shadowed Bister
Shadowed Low-key - values weighted toward shadow, the palette of dim interiors and overcast skies.
Bister Dark warm brown - a traditional ink and wash pigment made from wood soot.
Palette Analysis
Lajos Tihanyi sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. Heat pervades this palette; warm chromatic identities outweigh cool ones at almost every weight. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. #995032 delivers the chromatic peak at only 6.7% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. The value range of 52 units sits in the comfortable middle: enough depth, enough light, neither extreme. This is palette 6 of Lajos Tihanyi's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
