Values in Leon Bakst tilt decisively toward white, giving the palette its luminous character. Warm and cool are kept in productive tension, creating the kind of chromatic harmony that sustains the eye. Mid-saturation across the board: the palette has colour character without chromatic excess. #CDC352 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (7.0%). The full value range is 59 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. The combination of mid-to-high key, balanced temperature, and elevated chroma is characteristic of Impressionist observation: light broken into its component hues. This is palette 1 of Leon Bakst's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
