Somber Parchment

Parchment Aged warm neutral - the color of old manuscript parchment, tan and slightly yellowed.
Palette Analysis
Lawren Harris occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. Temperature is cool-dominant, with blue and green families claiming the largest areas. All colours lean toward grey, building depth through value rather than colour punch. #AE3C28 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (2.4%). The full value range is 61 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively. In the context of Lawren Harris's full range of palettes, group 4 represents one movement in an ongoing chromatic dialogue.
