Limbourg brothers Master Palette

Palette Analysis

Limbourg brothers sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. Blues and teal-greys govern the palette, lending it an aquatic or atmospheric quality. Saturation is deliberately withheld - the beauty here lies in the near-monochromatic gradations rather than colour difference. The highest-chroma note - #C2432F - appears at just 2.1%, deployed as a precision accent against the quieter ground. The palette spans 50 value units: a measured range that delivers coherence over drama. High luminosity and cool temperature suggest the plein-air condition: unfiltered daylight and open sky. Taken together, these qualities constitute Limbourg brothers's chromatic voice - distinctive enough to be read across an entire body of work.
