Léon Augustin Lhermitte occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. Léon Augustin Lhermitte balances warm and cool with remarkable evenness, giving the composition its characteristic vibrancy. The absence of saturated colour is itself an expressive choice: this is a palette of restraint and atmosphere. At 7.2%, #714930 carries the palette's sharpest chromatic charge: an accent that earns its place precisely because it is withheld. At 62 units of value range, the palette has the tonal breadth to sustain complex spatial readings. This is palette 9 of Léon Augustin Lhermitte's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
