Values in Leopold Muller rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Leopold Muller orchestrates warmth above all else - reds, ambers, and siennas take the lead. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. The most saturated colour, #BD8B4D, is reserved to 8.6% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. A value spread of 71 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light. Palette 1 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Leopold Muller's complete body of work advances.
