Léo Gausson Palette 2

Palette Analysis

Léo Gausson occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. Blues and teal-greys govern the palette, lending it an aquatic or atmospheric quality. Saturation is deliberately withheld - the beauty here lies in the near-monochromatic gradations rather than colour difference. #7F7345 delivers the chromatic peak at only 7.3% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. At 43 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. This is palette 2 of Léo Gausson's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
