Léon Augustin Lhermitte is high in key: pale, luminous, and filled with optical air. The dominant temperature is warm, with earth tones and fire-hues setting the emotional key. Chroma hovers near zero; colour declares itself through subtle shifts in hue rather than outright saturation. #40281A is not a small accent - at 7.9% it qualifies as a major presence and gives the palette its chromatic identity. 64 units of value range underpin the palette's structural clarity: the eye always knows where light falls. This is palette 1 of Léon Augustin Lhermitte's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
