Palette Analysis
Leon Bakst sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. The palette achieves thermal balance - reds and blues, ochres and greens, each holding the other in check. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. Only 4.1% is devoted to #E1BC7F, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. A value spread of 69 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light. Palette 11 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Leon Bakst's complete body of work advances.
